Michael is snipped: <<A bit of play has developed in the fit of the locking button and the hole it mates with. It does not prevent me from using the paddle but is enough to be quite annoying. It also seems to me that the movement will likely increase the problem very quickly.>> You are right--wear begats wear. Once you fix the hole as suggested, wrap the connection with duct tape. That will help stop it from happening again. The tape can be removed and reused many times.
