Narrow bounce
Survives tight poa around the Green when the face stays quiet. Dies in Sound fog if you need the sole to skip. Narrow case
New Haven · 900 Chapel · Suite 7
Width is a measurement. Letters are gossip.
Tip Stiff reads the sole at three stations with a caliper, then walks those numbers onto a rye strip that froze overnight and a poa patch that never thaws the same way twice. Catalog stamps stay in the drawer until Corin says the width actually matches the turf.

Thesis
Harbor fog fattens a sole the box never mentioned
People arrive with a bounce number from a desert fitting and a letter they memorized. East Rock mornings put a film of Sound moisture on rye that makes a “standard” width skate. Ada will not argue with the box. She will argue with the strip.
Suite 7 sits above Chapel Street brick. The Green is a short walk. Frozen April turf is the other teacher. We opened in 2014 so those two teachers would have a bench.
Three bands
Narrow, working, wide — pick by turf, not by jewelry
Working strip
The mid-sole width most Chapel bags actually live on. Ada writes the millimeters, then we watch skip versus skate. Working strip
Wide bounce
Looks kind in a bunker photo. On frozen rye it becomes a sled. Harbor wind makes the sled worse. Wide case
Hours
Tuesday through Saturday, ten to six
Monday the caliper sleeps. Sunday the Green gets the street. Jonah will not pretend a Monday walk-in exists.
Bring
The wedges that saw East Rock, not the backup set
