Force FAQ
Questions the pad actually answers
If the question is “which visor should I buy,” we will waste your morning. If the question is “when does the trail heel let go,” we are in the right mill.
Do I have to wear spikes on granite?
You have to wear the pair you walk the course in. Soft spikes, metal, or worn nubs — the pad wants the truth, not a borrowed demo shoe. Winter boots stay in the hall. Guest soles get a GUEST SOLE stamp and we will not spec a mill bag off them.
Why do you care about January if I only play May through October?
Because the body that learned to load on ice still shows up in May. A lead that hopped all winter does not suddenly migrate because the calendar turned. We would rather catch the hop in freeze season than invent a shaft for it in leaf-fall.
Is a hop the same as a shift?
No. A shift is CoP migrating under the shoes. A hop is both feet leaving honest contact. The bars show a hole. We will not build around a hole. If you hop, we name it, then we see whether shoes, ball place, or a quieter swing removes it. We do not put a head on a hole.
Can I film the live bars?
You can film your own feet. You cannot film another golfer’s sheet. June will stop a session that turns the mill into content. The carbon in your hand is yours. The screen is a tool, not a stage.
Do you run a launch screen in the same hour?
A number on a ball is gossip until the dump is dated. We may glance at a window after the feet settle. We will not start there. If you want a room that starts with ball speed, there are many. This one starts under the spikes.
What if my knee is the real story?
We stop. Mara is not a clinician. A load that is clearly a joint protecting itself is a medical morning, not a mill morning. We will hand you the carbon and the door. That is not a failure of the pad. It is the pad doing its job.
Why is Saturday dead at 1:00 and Sunday gone?
Short winter light and mill-stair ice. After 1:00 the live bars get theatrical and the grit from Elm gets worse. Sunday the street is a church parade and the punch clock stays shut. Argue with June if you want; the granite will still be dark.
Can two of us stand on the pad together?
No. Sequential only. A two-pad morning is a swap, not a crowd. The slab was poured for one body. A second body is noise, not data.
Will you recut a grind in this room?
Not as the first move. If the trail dump is honest and a wedge still dives, we will talk hulls with people who cut steel. We do not hide a sticky trail inside a bounce stamp.
