Quoted from KenLayton:

Perhaps if the factory made their own stainless steel "clip" to put on the plastic, that would help. The kicker arm would then hit the clip instead of the plastic. Of course the real solution would be to make the slingshot kicker pivot and kicker arm itself out of tougher (higher quality) metal.

I haven't seen this problem before.
I've got about 1000 games on my hobbit, plastics still look new.

I expect you'll hear from the JJP folks
