|
|
I have been having problems playing my cobalt flux on hard wood floor. It always moves around. It's not like it severely moves around, but it turns while I play. I start with the paid facing straight and my pad has turned like 15 degrees by the middle of the song and I misstep. I put the anti- slip material on the bottom. I put it on the four corners. I heard it works better on the edge of each arrow, but it is too late for that. What is a way I can stop it from slipping? I can't put carpet on the floor, or do a plywood mod, or anything like that. If I put tape on the bottom and around the sides of the pad will it work? I play 9-12 footers mostly. Any kind of fast jumps that are UR then LD will move my pad and any fast streams that aren't trills. Any help would be appreciated |

I've seen some rug grip material at Wal-Mart that comes in a roll. There's the sticky kind that comes in 3 inch strips and then there's a more rubbery one that spans the length of a rug that is meant to hold - of course - a rug to the floor. |

You'll notice that some rugs have that grippy rubber on the bottom. Find a rug twice the size of the pad, fold it in half so you have rubber up and rubber down, and there you go. A slide free surface. That's what I do. _________________

Alright thanks guys. I will try to get some, but can some duct tape covering the bottom and sides achieve the same effect? |

Duct tape might work but it would gunk up the bottom of the pad and your floor. The work of cleaning up the tape gunk makes a rug mat the better choice IMO.
Also, if you don't leave your pad out all day, every day, it is probably more cost-effective to go with the rug mat rather than going through countless rolls of duct tape? |
