Hey guys,

I posted a similar question on the misc. board. I am having a problem with sticking lately. I am a heel slider and using the ABS Sport Ultras. I don't have any other heel and sole combinations other than what comes with it. I am using the heel/sole combination that gives the most slide. But I am wearing down the front edge of the heel and it is causing a black mark on the it half way between the front edge and the post that the heel fits over. If this gets to bad then I start sticking. I can wire brush it off, but it takes about 4-5 frames with using a very small amount of ez slide to get back to normal. I went to replaceable shoes because I wore out the heel on my last pair of shoes even though they look brand new.

My question is, how can I correct this situation? I am looking into buying the adjustable heel from ABS to use the felt in the area were mine wears down. But I was also wondering how can I correct my slide to be more on the sole? Please help me. I have to line up to finish at least a foot from the foul line to make sure I have an emergency stop area just in case.

Thanks,
Kalannar

The one thing that I have to knock on the Dyno shoes is the Heel Compund.
Its like an eraser. I wore down my heel in less than 100 games to the point that I could not use it any more.

I do like My Ultras but I would like to see a harder heel. To fix my problem I hacked out the center of a Dexter ribbed heal and stick it on, I have no problems now...

Stop raising up at the line or be more balanced. Work more on learning the proper approach and follow through. You can do or buy what ever you need to get you through. They are a band-aid for the real problem. Video tape your footwork and approach and get with a qualified coach who can help, it usually doesn't take long and tends to help your game in more areas than just your slide.
