Quoted from ForceFlow:Under the right light...this is what a WPC playfield with dimples can look like.

Aren't dimples supposed to be from impacting the wood, but this is the insert. So is this poor clear or what?

Quoted from Dewey68:Has anyone done any hardness testing on an older NOS playfield versus a newer one? I'm not trying to feed into anyone's conspiracy theories, but when I owned LOTR and TSPP, those playfields seemed to have much less dimpling on them compared to newer Stern games.
Yes, it's been done. Don't have the thread link right now, but LoTR was found to be harder. Every time this subject comes up, I go look at my LoTR (HUO) again and try to find dimples. I don't see any. After looking for a minute or two and finding just the right reflection, I can see the slightest of waviness in the white target reflection. There's definitely variance in how bad playfields dimple. I do have Stern Trek and GB which have the normal level of dimpling.

Found it, but it's installed playfields, and I guess it's a rebound test, not the technical hardness test vid is talking about?

Many others chimed in their LoTR doesn't dimple like other games.
