Quoted from PanzerFreak:The fact is new Stern playfields dimple far more then games made 20+ years ago
That’s your objective opinion. Which is fine, and you get to own, but please don’t pass this off as fact.

Quoted from PinMonk:Well, when someone puts a gauge to current Stern PF wood (as they did) and it comes up SOFTER than the current competition OR Bally Williams playfields, that's a FACT and likely the primary reason for the dimpling - Stern cost cutting to use softer and/or less cured/dry wood. Stern cheaped out on cabinet wood too, sometime after KISS, installing leg brackets you can FEEL how soft the newer cabs are when you drill into them. Cabs are hidden cost cutting, but on the PF not so hidden. Trying to explain it away like this is gross.
I think you missed the part where I had the answer. I don’t. I am tired of folks making stuff up. Be a scientist, get real data, back it up with research and get it validated. All I see is constant armchair diagnosis to be honest.
Quoted from PinMonk:I think you missed the post where I pulled in the data of playfields from all eras tested with a gauge and Stern having the softest playfields overall. Page 2, end of the page. Completely opposes the "made up" Stern party line - with facts.
