They begin to misalign, widen, and cause the balls to stop launching into the play field properly. Slow-motion videos show the forks hitting balls unevenly despite being cranked up to full power. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eThis brings us to the band aid: this kit.  The kit includes two pieces: the plunger stabilizer and the fork stabilizer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eThe fork stabilizer covers both forks, bringing them to the proper width and dispersing the impact evenly onto the ball. This is meant to make up for the slack that has developed with the forks and keep you playing. You should still reach out to spooky support and obtain a new plunger assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eThe plunger stabilizer is attached to the underside of the play field, providing a piece of the plunger assembly that hangs free, something solid to attach itself. This is meant to stabilize the assembly to keep it from shifting further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eAfter a hundred games or more of testing with this kit, the balls launch perfectly every single time.  I have not seen a single failure since the installation.  I recommend dialing the plunger power down between 60% and 80% after installation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eSee photos for installation details. Yes, there are other stabilizers sold individually for far more money.  I don't see the need to use more expensive carbon fiber or have a massive fork cover when a sleeker design will suffice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCommonly installed alongside general maintenance tools like the leveler and flipper gauge.
