sorry it's not working for you guys. I have no way to make 6 beveled bends in the tabs to match the scoop routing. It's reflecting the ball energy back which makes it a harder shot. Bare wood absorbs the energy, metal does not. I could eliminate the tabs going down into the hole but then I would have to use tape to hold it down and it would likely warp like a potato chip in short order. I'm open to ideas guys.

I've sent a couple out with the rearmost tab removed per northvibes suggestion. Crossing fingers that it helps get that ball to dive a bit better.
