Quoted from DNO:Totally nothing new, been happening at least 20 years, I’ve seen it on LOTR, POTC, IJ4, etc…
But if this is the sudden “new” reason people are “out on new Sterns” then I guess good for them?
It never has and still doesn’t bother me, and when the PFs have the ribbing, they don’t usually dimple at all. Makes me think it’s something to do with the hardness of the top ply of the wood.
Also, stern doesn’t make the playfields in house, so not sure about the saving a buck theory either.
Does go back a long way, but titles like LOTR hardly ever had it.
Compare to a few runs of Deadpool, that had mega ribbing.
It has got worse, maybe last 4 years or so?
