Rita, in Spokane we haven't use FED mechanics in years, so I might be a bit rusty.

There are some differences with the Pro mechanics, including, if I remember right, with R1/R3...FED has BU in C and Pro has him in B. There are also some coverage and rotation differences, but I really can't testify about FED with 100% certainty anymore.

At the clinic, just do what they tell you to do, smile and be glad you can forget about it later.
