Cant wait to get this Fix! I have an LE Version and I noticed this problem instantly. It feels like the game is really fast and the flippers are hitting the ball really strong and I am using all of the default settings. It happens a lot, like just about every game for me and it seems to happen when I hit the ball fast and hard. I have watched hours of people playing this on KZread Streams and I have not noticed others complaining. Not really sure why I noticed it immediately but anyway super happy there is such a great fix. THANK YOU to whoever you are! (You know after spending 14K on this machine, it would be awesome if Stern offered to pick up the tab on this, as it appears to be a huge oversight. Not sure how it got past all the Testing but then again as I said I did not see it happening on the KZread Live Streams. Is it possible my settings are somehow different making the ball travel faster or the flippers hit stronger than what I have seen in the Live Streams?)

Andy, this is awesome! Poor design by Stern, but thanks to your creative genius, you fixed the issue.

We've played like 50+ games on Jaws so far, never seen this airball described situation yet. But for those worried about it, does seem like a neat solution.

You can speed up the install by leaving the screws and rubber o-rings on the plastic. Just unscrew the screws from the playfield and remove the plastic with the screws and o-rings still in place!

I’ve only played mine 5 times and didn’t notice this issue yet. It’s hard to believe that the ball, moving at a fairly high rate of speed, would be able to flex the plastic enough to cause this problem. Very good solution though to what is obviously an issue at some point.

Presumably, it's because the playfield is angled. The ball is being fired up a slope, so there's a force pushing down. I wonder what wear will be like around the slot...

Keeping in mind that plastics tend to warp up or down with time, this mid fixes at least half of the issue…

Nice fix. I've played a couple of these machines and haven't experienced this issue myself, but it would be frustrating to deal with.

Hopefully Stern will fix this issue on future iterations of the machine. This really shouldn't happen on machinery for around 9000 €

Yeah, I was as as underwhelmed playing that game as Dreyfus was to unenthusiastically mutter “uhhh … jack - pot” into the mic as he was recording his callouts. Stern can now turn DOWN the boiling frog water temperature on these insane prices! 🤷♂️

That seems like a massive oversight by Stern. Seems like people were hating on this game, but I remained optimistic for this release (not a collector, just a player/competitor), but after seeing this, I now have to agree with those haters. Stern flopped on this one, no pun intended. This doesn't just concern airballs getting stuck or damaging components, but the playfield will also suffer continual damage as time goes on. If not by the ball pushing it down, then by the ball striking the opening's edges repeatedly.

@michaelperlewitz8410 it's slow. Alot if horizontal bouncing and ball play is slow. The movie scenes and right flippers stop all speed and flow. The 5 I have seen installed locally all don't work properly, and it was designed cheaply using cost as basis not using innovation and creativity as a basis. It shows. The spinners are flat/blah, take up too much space, and top right bar in front causes nonstop airballs as well getting balls stuck or breaking components. Everyone I have talked to agreed its worse than venom and elwins worst by far. You may like the liscence, but the play is bad and gets old so fast.

Sounds good! Yeah I need a little more time to get the surface just right. They're tricky to print due to the funky geometry of the surface that interfaces with the lockdown bar.
