Quoted from BoJo:Not all wood had the same hardness and I wouldn't put it past Stern to have switched to a lesser wood if it means saving a few bucks. They are all about cost cutting so wouldn't be surprised if they switch to balsa wood in the future.
If your referring to recent Sterns versus all JJP games then the answer is YES....several tests have been done to confirm hardness of the Stern play fields are inferior
Quoted from TomGWI:Explain the wear of JJP games compared to Sterns.
Dialed IN's with wear at the scoop- over with a JJP 'cliffy'
WOZ with wear - they send out decals to cover it up
Don't tell me JJP is superior
Have you owned one? I have all of them and they clearly are from a manufacturing/quality perspective...so are CGC games
Quoted from zr11990:JJP will have the same problem as Stern. Stern's node boards will blow out and will not be replaceable and JJP uses a computer that may or may not be replaceable when it goes out. Some of you may be able to replace it but most will not. The game will then be worthless. I'm not trying to be negative but that is the way I see it. These games are made to be obsolete in a matter of time.
pretty short sided thinking....the likelihood of your theoretical scenario is slim to none...somebody will always figure out a way to keep the games alive....
