You installed the rubbers by putting it on the front (small point) of the flipper and stretching it to the back, right?
I have seen the same wear when doing that. Install by looping it onto the fatter end of the flipper bat and pulled forward. This keeps the tension off the nose of the flipper.
Also, use a silicone flipper rubber, they wear better over all.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:The thing that's odd here is that there's a small chip out of the flipper plastic as well, at the bottom.
That is because the rubber is gone and allowing the ball to impact the hard plastic of the flipper.
Quoted from LTG:For me in commercial use. I really like Titan silicone rings.
LTG : )
I use Titan rubber on almost everything.
