The sit
Paint, kiss, leak. Then a stamp.
Hattie does not pick up a bending bar until the plate has a story.
Paint
Dry pigment on a plate is cheap. It tells which metal kissed first. We paint, you roll, we look. Repeat until the kiss is boring, not surprising.
Kiss
A toe kiss with a flying heel is upright weather. A heel kiss with a lazy toe is flat weather. A two-ended kiss is the only sit we will stamp without an argument.
Leak
Balls that drift right of a square face are often a flying toe. Balls that drift left are often a bullying heel. We still check the stroke. The chute is not a church of one cause.
