High bin
Too much loft, too much hop
A face that pops the ball into Floyd wind never starts a roll. We cut loft until the hop dies on the first yard.
Missouri · Sixth Street · loft stamps
Stamp the loft that stops the skid the face actually throws.
Putter Loft is a hopper desk, not a catalog counter. We weigh how a face launches on river-town bermuda, then we stamp loft so Sergeant Floyd wind cannot keep a ball skating past the hole.
Low bin
Too little loft, a skid that never ends
A delofted face on Sixth Street bermuda skates. We add loft until the skid ends before the hole, not after it.
Costume
A catalog degree with no weigh
A number copied from a tour bag that never met Missouri humidity. Fine as a poster. Not a stamp.
Why a hopper
Catalog degrees are paint. Skid is the grain in the scale.
Players walk in with a loft they liked on a box. Sioux City bermuda does not read boxes. It reads whether a face still hops in stockyard wind, and whether a shaved loft still skids on a damp morning by the Combination Bridge.
Maren Vos clips a ticket the way a silo clerk clips a hopper load. Cal Bridger then stamps a loft that can live with that skid, or he refuses a costume degree cut for someone else's green speed.

Notes from people who left a catalog number on the clipboard
Inez chalked my skid and it ran longer than any box number I had believed. The two-degree face I loved was a skate. We added loft. Morningside stopped being a coin flip.
They asked me to pick a primary: dawn damp or afternoon bake. I said both. Maren said pick a stamp or buy a second face. Rude. Accurate.
