Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:

Besides tightening the out lanes a little, are there any other subtle ways to make JP a little easier?
I'd like to say it's just for my 6yr old son who's really starting to love JP, but I'm stagnating quite a bit. After 1000+ games, my high score is ~650 million (which I set in the first month or two of ownership), I haven't seen anything new in the game for a long time and am yet to reach any of the wizard modes. I've tried the "play better" route, but it seems my JP is set up a little hard, or my skills just aren't good enough.
I play it every day and absolutely love it still, especially with Timlah's code, but my improvement just isn't there.
Any ideas?

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Finally got to Escape from Nublar and ESCAPED! ( yes, glass on normal tilt haha ) WHEW! What a game...my heart is pounding out of my chest.

Quoted from mbrave77:

Hey everyone. Ive had my premium over a year now and while doing maintainence I just noticed the position of the upper flipper. Should it look like this or should it be pointing directly at the post? Ive owned so many new sterns and have never actually had to do flipper positioning changes so this can be a learning opp if needed!
I can hit the shots off that flipper so either its ok or Ive just gotten used to it.

Quoted from Lermods:

I have a JP premium that I just picked up late last week (NIB from the July run!) and am installing the Tilt Graphics side blades. I see there is no cutout for the hinge bolts recessed into the cabinet. Are people just going right over that area and concealing it or are you cutting it out with an exacto knife. i want to do some powder coating down the road so i'm guessing I will need to cut the hole out, but am curious what others have done. I typically only go with mirror blades, which have the cutouts, but wanted to try the side blades as I do like how they look on this game. thx

Quoted from shaub:

Does anyone have these WizBlades Art Blades installed? If so, how is the quality? And could you post or PM me a picture of them installed?

Quoted from purbeast:

Anyone have the blue helicopter blade Mezel mod?
Recently sometimes when my ball is passing by and it hits one of the "nails" it is getting stuck up on the rail and I have to shake the shit out of my machine to finally get it loose. It looked like the nail had been pushed up a little bit so I pushed it back down, but it happened again after that this morning when I was messing with it.
Anyone else experience this with that mod? It seems like it is something that started happening more recently too, it didn't happen at all the first like 3 weeks or so I had it then this past week I noticed it happening a bit.

Quoted from EaglePin:

I just use stock red or black flipper rubber. Similar to you, I tried Titans low bounce on my AIQ and felt the same way about it so I switched right back. The stock rubber does mean you should clean the playfield more often, but it's not that big a deal to do.

Quoted from RobW:

Yes, still hungry lanes. I swear, I think they program the sling power to purposefully hit those outlanes.

Quoted from Kevin_LHeureux:

Can I ask why people are doing this? Since the ball does not make contact with the screw heads I can’t see the benefit here. I just checked mine and even with the screw being a bit loose from the factory they still did not make ball contact as designed.

Quoted from nicoy3k:

I love my premium but I think the raptor pitt is more satisfying on the pro. It’s kind of like a mini loop shot that returns to the flipper.
Though for both, the raptor Pitt is the weakest part of the game. It’s my only critique of this masterpiece. I wish the section was used as a regular shot and integrated across modes, sort of how mechagodzilla is both its own little multiball function but also essentially one of the games main shots too.

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Post Passing Cont'd:
I played a Premium on location today.
I noticed two important differences between it and my PRO:
1. Longer flipper stroke, which means the flipper tip in the up position is higher, allowing more secure cradles but also more difficult roll passes.
2. Post passing possible, either direction, although not easily.
My theory is that these are related. Basic geometry would suggest that. An early flip with a longer-stroke flipper will send the ball "backward" slightly more than a would an early flip with a shorter-stoke flipper. The only thing I can think of that would create a shorter stroke (on my PRO) is a longer plunger or a longer stop. I know Stern sources parts where they can. Perhaps they tossed plungers into my flipper assemblies that were a tad longer than they ought to be. I do NOT speculate that there is variation in the stops, but I s'pose it's possible, since we've already been through the crappy-stops-on-NIB-Stern-games crisis of last year.

Quoted from NoSkills:

I'm considering swapping my prem for a pro plus cash. I usually turn off the trex anyway and I don't think I'll miss the helicopter but I'm not 100% how the raptor pit works on the pro. When the ball is trapped in the pit on the prem and you just have to bash the gate, on the pro do you have to hit the back target to decrease integrity or is it any of the targets in the pit make progress? How much harder is it? Am I forgetting to consider anything else? Thanks

Quoted from Salami_Inferno:

I’m trying to get the ball off of the stem that’s holding the truck, not the one in the playfield. How do I get enough grip on the ball so I can turn the nut holding it on? Feels impossible.
