[Empathy]

I feel the most major flaw with them is the force required to activate them and how the arrow has to be hit. The new pads force me to play more on my heels than I like, and even then its really difficult to keep freeze arrows down. The pads seem like they don't have enough sensors in the arrow. That's my pad frustrations at least, the screen lag is the other part. To sum up:

- Too much force is necessary for me to register a hit, and I'm 135lbs.
- Keeping freeze arrows held is now a chore. Maybe more senors could remedy this?
- VERY minute shifts in weight can cause arrows to double trigger or break.
- The plexi panels for the arrows slip a lot, and I've almost fallen because of this. Especially on the down arrow.
- The pads just all around lack the feel of the older pads, I get caught on the "brackets" of the new pad frequently, and the difference in the feel makes my legs get tired more quickly, it's like the new pads don't have the same rebound when you kick off a panel.

I also noticed this at SVGL where the machine is on tile rather than carpet like it is at MGL, the machine is so damn light that after a few hours of play the machine has rotated several degrees. The older machines never moved at all.
