Spent my last hour of pin session in front of Dialed In LE.

Something was off in the shooter rod. Could not easily plunge all the way through to the flipper. Helped me notice how the ball likes to go SDTM from the jets. Thank God for ball saver. The right ramp wireform can both lose a ball that's supposed to stay on it, or catch a ball that bounces off the playing field. Seems that happens sometimes when you hit the Quantum power guy hard and flush. It bails you out because that could have just as easily spun toward the outlane.

This is a heavy one for sure. She doesn't like to move. Now I was pretty tired by the time I got to this, nudging and shimmying probably 20 other pins before it, but Dialed In is not like the Stern SW I was slinging around like a toy compared to this beast. You can think what you will of the theme or anything else, but in term of build quality it seems like you're getting what you pay for. The flipper buttons feel like the classics. I have not played any other JJP but this machine seems to say that the best is yet to come from them.

I've read about playfield warping but I don't know if that is indicative of anything but the sheer amount of stuff underneath the glass. Almost like TZ, just with a less cramped lower PF. Just as heavy for sure. It's amazing a pin like this could get made in 2017.

Quoted from johninc:

Playfield warping? I saw the bit about the playfield sagging, due to weakening of the metal supports at the front, but I'd be pretty surprised if PFs were warping.

I misspoke, typed whatever.

Kind of a major distinction actually. Never mind me, it was late and after a long flip session.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Likely the supports for the PF have bent/sagged just enough to lower the playfield and cause the auto launcher to drag on the shooter rod, killing its momentum. If you pull and release the rod with no ball in the lane, you can see the auto launcher move when the rod nicks it, which should not happen. Shimming the two metal PF support hooks is the only way I've found to address this. Hobbit had/has the same problem. Never had it with WoZ.
It's being discussed here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/permanently-correcting-pf-sag-on-dialed-in

Definitely sounds like it. I could feel as it was coming into contact with something as I pulled it all the way back. It was not doing this last week when I first played.

This made me hit the skillshot often, but full plunging to the right flipper is the safe move. Sort of like TZ, though the jets on DI aren't so close to the outlane.
