I found me a practice shield and I have tried differant approaches with differant types of chips. I have a few questions if someone has the time to answer for me. Thanks in advance
1. What is the most common type of chip?
2. When I repair larger bullseyes and starbreaks (around a quarter or bigger) on my practice shield I notice that my chip always has small cracks toward the impact point no matter what I do they always exist. I am using GT Hot Shot. What would cause this? I have no problems with half moon, batwing, and small bullseye with no problems.

The Major WR company you work for has a bunch of stuff that makes breaks and several videos to show you how ask to sit in with a class or take a video home?

Adam,
GT should have supplied you with a small ball bearing with an elastic through the middle. This simple little tool is very effective in making bulls-eyes, stars and combination breaks. Practice, practice and practice.
