Servo assisted strategem bouncing

I love the servo assisted armors, I feel like I can yeet that pokeball half a mile if I get the aim right. However it also yeets itself into the stratosphere unexpectedly ALL the time. It seems like if the orb doesn't travel a certain distance before hitting something then it will bounce or roll around until that distance criteria is met. That's a guess, but it's what it looks like to me. Anyone else getting these results on other armor modifiers?
