Inconsistent performance can sometimes point to non-genuine internal components. Fake parts often wear faster, show unusual noise, or can’t handle load consistently. One way to check is to compare the weight and build quality against verified originals. Even small differences in finish, machining, or materials are telling. I’ve seen this same issue in other industries — for example, schools that installed cheaper, off-brand basketball hoops noticed they didn’t hold up to daily use compared to the sturdier ones (like those you’d find here: https://courtkings.co.nz/hoops/). The pattern is the same: if performance drops under normal conditions, it’s worth checking if the internals are truly what they claim to be.
