If you flatten the front of a newton ball, is it still a newton ball?

Quoted from smassa:

The main issue to me is that they shouldnt rely on the sensor after the ball strikes the cube. If they would just fire the magnet once the cube switch it closed it would grab the ball much more often then relying on the sensor to detect the ball.
Ive heard from people that they are concerned about Playfield wear but it shouldnt be any worse then when the sparky magnet grabs the ball to start multiball. Ive seen that magnet grab the ball out of mid air, no reason the coffin magnet couldnt be coded the same way.

Couldn't agree more.

Would love to know the reasoning behind why they can't do this. The PF wear issue makes no sense to me since the Sparky magnet would have the same issue.

Quoted from markmon:

The best Sw change in my opinion is to make it so lock 2 progress is eligible whether you locked ball 1 or not. There's no reason locks 1, 2, and 3 couldn't all be lit at the same time and ready to go.

Do you know what number these settings are in the menu? I went through briefly and didn't see them.

Quoted from hank35:

I got it at Home Depot. It comes in a 4 pack and comes in different widths. I used 3/4"

That velcro on the block seems like it would last a few games before it's gone.
