Quoted from gweempose:

I forgot to mention that I performed one more "upgrade" that I think improves gameplay. I was getting a lot of bounceouts from the right VUK hole, so I added some Pinbits dead drop foam to the back and left wall. While it didn't eliminate the bounceouts entirely, it does seem like it has improved the chances of the ball getting in the hole. It's already a tough enough shot, the last thing you need is the ball bouncing out half the time. Here's a link to the product I used:

Great advice on the "dead drop foam". I installed it tonight and see a reduction in the number of bounce-outs from about 50% to 25%. After 3 games following installation, I had my all time best 3-ball score of 978 million and was one mode away from the wizard play which was about 3 modes higher than I had ever been.
