It is a common problem for hulk to get the ball stuck under his left arm and there doesn't seem to be much coming from Stern on fixing it. Has anyone successfully eliminated this problem?

Thanks for the link. hadn't noticed his arms weren't lifting. I am considering a mod of some sort to keep the ball from getting back there but that may prove to be a challenge

I did notice a few threads said he was hard to remove but the whole assembly was out in ten minutes. The wire is broken and I see how it is a poor design

FamilyArcade:

Can you detail how you adjusted the plate for better action. It doesn't look like there is much to adjust.
