    Well, I agree kinda. I saw a video of Steve Richie saying any time you take a ball and drop in on a play field they dimple. I didn't know what all the fuss was about until I stuck a Star Wars Pro out, an 5,000 balls later it looked like a golf ball course. It was heart breaking to see, I can't remember the time an old Williams game looked like that years on a route. However, the real truth is they used to soft of wood to save a buck and make money. However, my HUO units I don't see it as much. I love my LE's and I will keep buying them when I love the title and fun to play. I am not a guy to pay 8 plus K and then take a 2K loss. I'll just keep it and enjoy it. You can hate my LE's and most of the time, I like the art package of the premium's much more. When I buy a pin I am not looking to play it and flip it once a new title hits the market. LE's are getting out of hand prices wise, but so are premium's and pro's. I'll just love my LE's and move on.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Not true.
    The cheapest hardwood in North America is Hard Maple AKA Sugar Maple.
    That's why for the last 80 years playfields are made of it
    That's why bowling alleys are made from it
    That's why basketball courts are made from it

    That's why guitar necks are made from it.
    -
    There are softer species of Maple available, but they are too expensive to use for playfields.

    Yes that why my NBA play fields look great and the Star Wars pro looks like Swiss cheese because no one tried to cheapen the game
