Align the barrel correctly, refer to the installation manual.
When you shoot, hold the gun up right, don't angel it.

if the balls are curving right, rotate the barrel clockwise (if left counter clockwise), you also should be shooting at around 165 fps.

Mine was always best at about 270-280fps, flatlines are odd creatures indeed, they are all a bit different and need just the right velocity to perform at their max. Just keep tweaking everything until you get what you want.

Cleaning the flatline is important. Rinse it out with warm water as part of your gun cleaning routine.

Yeah, but you MUST get the barrel completely dry if you do that. The best thing to do is get a long jerk squeegee and a swab. Use the jerk first then run the swab back and forth through it a few times after that. That will get everything out of your barrel.
