Quoted from loppydog:

I have a laser cutter, but unfortunately not the kind that cuts steel.
I have read so many post about this before I posted, and it is interesting how many people swear by the hole in the play field and how many swear by a straight edge...

Guide looks fine to me, just like the one I have at home. I would suggest changing your flipper rubber, aligning the flipper to the alignment holes and just play the game.

Unfortunately, those folks that use a straight edge instead of the flipper alignment holes are changing the shots on the game. This type of alignment can really make a game play differently. Hey, I don't like flipper hop either, though I think dealing with it from the lane guide side/flipper rubber is how it should be addressed.
