API Tailwheel 10, 15 or 20 degree angle

I have a 20 degree angle Aviation Products Inc tailwheel on my RV6. I switched to a Matco pneumatic tailwheel and found that on landing I have noticeable tailwheel shimmey- didn't have the problem with the standard hard rubber tailwheel. My friends RV4 has the Matco wheel and has had no problems; he noticed that my fork angle doesn't sit vertical like his 4 does. Iam wondering whether I have the wrong degree for vertical alignment. What degree do you folks have on your RV6?
