    After you are done working on your game and it's time return the playfield into the cabinet you will inevitably hit that speed bump on the rails. So...

    Do you grab hold of the service rails and ram past the hump with the playfield until the playfield returns into the cabinet?

    - OR -

    Do you reach behind the playfield with one hand to give it a gentle lift while the other hand pushes the playfield into the cabinet?

    I have a guess to what most people will pick but just curious.

    Edit: of course this poll only applies to this type of playfield servicing. Not simple hinged games.

    On most Sterns I get the playfield to the hump and press down on the base of my apron, raising the back of the playfield up. At that point it's cruising speed into port for me.

    Speed bumps are always smoother when you go faster over them.

    Depends on the car
