Quoted from Haymaker:I think they need to have a different cut on the hole in newer production games, but come up with a fix for the early runs
I bet this is what they've done and would explain the extended delay between the first Pros and the LEs that are just shipping now, about a month later.
The scoop hole is already really tight so there isn't a lot of room to add extra/thicker material there without making the shot impossible to hit. Seems like early pros had an oddly routed edge to the scoop that created an air gap behind the protector. Hope somebody will take close up pics of their LE scoop when they arrive. I'll gladly do so but am probably at least a week away from delivery.
