[Unanswered]  Tournament Legal Solutions to Light Launcher Skipping?

(I apologize if this is a redundant thread. I did a search and all previous threads only seemed to focus on illegal mods)

I just bought my first TT burst beys and got a long light launcher to go with them. It appears to have a skipping problem right out of the box. I was hoping to use it in an tournament that is happening very soon but I know that a lot of launcher fixes render the launcher illegal for competitive use. Not sure if I could get another TT launcher in time. 

Does anyone have suggestions on how to remedy this without taking it apart? The ripcord is only very slightly bent. I seem to have better launches if I start off slow then speed up but it’s very inconsistent.
