    I hate prop rods for the exact reason that they never seem sturdy to me at ALL. Like the playfield being half twisted in the cabinet and wobbly can't be good. Really like the idea of the H-bar though. I have really long arms, so I guess I've never really had issues raising or lowering playfields, but I suspect as I get older, it's not going to be pretty. I already have elbow and shoulder problems on the right side....manufacturers moving to something safer and easier to use would be appreciated.
