Question: How do I choose the right sole and heel combination?
A: Choose based on your approach surface and slide needs. Use high slide soles (felt or microfiber, higher numbers like S8 S10) on sticky or tacky wooden approaches if you tend to stick. Use lower slide soles (rubber or textured) on slick synthetic lanes if you slide too far. Pair with braking heels: stronger rubber heels (H2 H4) for quick stops or moderate heels (H5 H6) for balanced control. Test combinations at the center and start with moderate options.
