I picked up a zeke's peak recently and noticed the ball has a tendency to stick to the left side bumper. Upon closer inspection, we found that the reason (for mine) where the outer shaft overlaps the inner, the outer doesnt reach all the way to the left bumper when the rail is horizontal. Its about a half inch short. This results in a tiny lip which impedes the ball movement once it reaches the left bumper and enters this lip area. Its not too big a deal but does make the player have to tip it more to make it move off the rail and once its past this lip the ball goes fast.

Does this describe your guys machines also, or does the outer shaft fully reach the left side bumper when your rail is horizontal?

Im curious whether this is something common to all ice cold beers and zekes peaks or something that needs adjustment.

Thanks fellow ICB/zp owners :)

I think that's normal (every one I've seen has that)... it shouldn't affect gameplay though, since you should keep the ball away from the edges of the bar ;) .

Yeah I was worried you might have a problem with it.

I got your cash. When do you wanna drop it off?
 
thanks DogP *whew*

@Koolmoe: heheh no way man. Zeke's peak was the game everyone played and left talking about at a recent gaming meet I hosted.. As stuffmonger, xray2, gibbous and the guys in this thread can attest (i'm Droid over there):

Found this somewhat suprising as the majority of attendees were hardcore shmuppers not classic gamers, in general. Hey man, when are you gonna cruise down and play some games with us?
