Hey Indy ive checked the plungers on all three tables and as far as i can see it looks okay,

underneath the closeups of the plunger area of all three tables.

Maybe I'm not explaining it right. Thank you for the pics. The issue is probably clearest to see in the middle picture. Look at the red knob on the plunger. It should be connected to the rod with the coil wrapped around it. Pull the plunger you'll see it's just air in the coil. Not the rod. it's just the coil and air. Check out a table like black belt to see how it should look.

Zaccaria table magic table yes totally right indy that would be a miracle to experience this with a real zacc.

On the first pic of Blackbelt the rod is visible inside the spring while on the other three ( Furure World, Earth Wind & Fire and Winter Sports this is not the case.

To Zsolt theres something really wrong with the spinners, for instance on this table on a certain moment the spinner hangs in the position as seen on the picture and doesnt function anymore.

The strange thing is that its position is not being reset when starting a new game so its remains out of order.

I also had this same exact problem on Shooting the Rapids.

To Zsolt, this bug was already mentioned in the 2.7 update threat, when the ball is being shot into the station which is shown on the pic, it feels nice and cozy there and doest want to come out till you reset the game.

Bug - the red plunger knob is being impaled by the plunger rod which is sticking all the way through it. The table also features a locomotion rule card

There seems to be an invisible obstruction near the center of the playfield that causes the ball to behave unexpectedly.

Android v1.1

Twice in a single game session--maybe four or five quick games played--after launching the ball from the plunger, it hit the gate at the top of the plunger lane, then somehow popped out behind the wire on the far side of the gate, and was stuck there at the top of the table. Stuck ball position indicated by the green arrow below:

Thanks, it will be fixed in the next update.

There's still an issue with the ball interacting with something invisible in the lower open section. Sometimes the ball will appear to hit and deflect at odd angles. Sometimes it even picks up speed as though it is bouncing off an invisible bumper. I don't think it is a static object as it occurs in different locations, but all on the lower open field. It was more pronounced to me using the normal ball. The problem is intermittent.

I agree. I thought it was an issue with the slingshot force.

On this table there is quite some slack on the Slingshot rubbers, and this has a negative impact on the ball when it hits it because it seems to loose its energy when it bounces off the sling,

Also, sometimes the ball bounces off the sling, falls back on it and bounces off again with very little energy, this happens on all tables with too much slack on the slingshot rubbers.

On for instance Shooting the Rapids and Pool Champion there is a fair amount of slack on the rubbers which results in a nice & more direct bounce when the ball interacts between the slingshots.
