I haven't seen too much feedback on the "fix" of putting the sticker over the grove by the Loki ball lock to keep the balls from getting stuck. I'm still waiting for mine to come in from Stern & it's an annoying problem, but does a sticker really fix it? Do they send you more than 1 or can I expect it to hold up long term?

Yes , this fixes it completely. I only got 1 but it would last .

It works fine. No hang-ups since I put it on. It's dark blue and pretty heavy material.

Thx for posting the picture, I would have thought it went over the grove & not next to it. I was thinking why didn't they just make that white plastic stopper stay down all the time & lift up when the Loki ball lock engaged? Nothing is there to slow down any of the other shots, why make that different?

Definitely don't cover the groove. Those are the optical sensors that detect the presence and number of balls in the lock. The problem is actually with the small cutout in the plastic for the small black screw next to the groove.

Not sure on the overall design choice, but a mechanism that only comes up when the lock is active, but is still able to let only one ball out is considerably more complex like the one in XMEN Magneto lock. This one is a simple single coil.
