This aint really a tech problem, but I thought I'd bring it up.

I've got a grasshopper PM8 and if I was top use it continues for a full days play after a good number of balls through the marker and number of pots gone through. Some shots begin to swerve like big time!! Lol. They'll maybe travel about a foot and thn swerve off in any direction.

As I said this aint that big a tech problem to me as it seems to sort itself after about an extra pot of paint shot through it in this state, and also this doesn't occur until near the end of a full days play.

I've checked that the barrel is clean whilst it does this and its spotless also this occurs on many barrels.

The paint I am using is tournament quality so its good paint.

So again, this isn't major, and it only happens after a good long day playing and also it only occurs for a wee while. Does any one know why this could be happening? Cheers

Perhaps the paint as its been open for the longest, it starts to almost Deteriorate? so the quality at the end of the day wont be as good as it was at the start from having the bag open etc, it could also be that some of the paint may be a slightly different bore?

If you're using the same paint each time then maybe there's some oil on the exterior of the balls that is building up in the barrel. Does swabbing the bore make any difference? If it happens with different paints then perhaps try running it over the chrono when you notice the problem and check the consistency as the odd hot shot could be causing the swerving. The only other thing to do is check the battery;)
