Tornado Alley F5 Base
 

Just wanted to poll you all on why you have or have not used the base.

Bases
 

I would love to try them but I ordered 3 awhile back and paid with paypal, but you sent money back??

I want to order some, and have been intrigued by them the moment they came out, but I wanted to avoid any misuderstandings or thoughts of sabotage because I am making some other bases ("they stole their ideas..."). As soon as our bases come out, I will try yours.

Thanks,
Mark

That would have been bases directly from Geno and his tweak service..
I sold a couple sets of bases to your dad in March.. before I was accepting Paypal as a payment option..

To buy bases.. You need to go to www.TornadoAlleyEFS.com

I'm not selling pre-tweaked bases right now from that site though..

Thanks

:eek: Thank God I am a rookie so I can use the "B" word. I have ......boiled the F5's and smashed the rear prongs wid and nice and gently tapped the front prongs or used various dials and speed and strength. I know the "B" word is tabu in many states but, i had the pleasure of having my students commandeer all of the F5's Kansas Bill sent me from you guys thanks and I know the greatest of tweakers with the "B" word down pack will do 500% as much justice to those dark "knight bases".:cool:

Thanks again and looking forward to getting some more and sneaking up to my secret lab.

Coach Karim.


:)

have some but have not started working with them
 

Geno,

I only have a few of them, but have yet to spend time tweaking them. Plan to put them through the LOMAX TWEAK SCHOOL process in the next few weeks as I get back to work in the lab.

My Season Hasn't Started Yet

I wanted them autographed by the NHFL coach of the year.

Rock,

OK...... thanks for the input....:p :p

Okay, I am not a great tweaker, so keep that in mind.

1. I found that the front prongs were too far back, causing my players to lunge forward and I couldn't fix it.

2. I read where someone had to turn them around backwards to get speed out of them. I just haven't tried that myself, but is that really the way they were designed? I don't think so.


I love their look, and their color, but I personally only got 1 out of 8 to perform decent. I'll post more later, gotta go.

I've tried them, untweaked and tweaked
 

I have several dozen of them, use them, and love them. I actually bought some tweaked from Geno himself, bought some from Bill to experiment with, and just purchased some more this afternoon (tweaked a "special" way).
They work very well, but I play against others who have the exact same bases, so it's hard for me to rate them up against anyone else's stuff. My biggest problem is simply coaching mistakes. (The bases weren't the problem with my poor Tornado Alley League play today).

O-s,

1. The 67 Big man TE & the BUZZBALL QB perform fine on the F-5
to help the other figures with more forward weight simply clip the REAR prongs to pitch the base ride postion to a more level state. (versatile)

2. Tweaking the base to run backwards isnt a new idea, and it certainly isnt just for speed. You can get the F-5 to do amazing things running in this manner. (versatile )

3. All of the prongs on the base are at a 90 degree angle. You MUST lean the prongs in a rearward manner in order for them to do thier job.

I hope some of this helps you out if not feel free to call me anytime on my cell 620-904-7000. HAPPY TWEAKING

Thanks Geno, I will give those things a try. I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to these things, so I will buy more if I can get them going. Actually mine were a gift, so I should say I will buy more myself if I can get them going.

No problem keep me informed!

My latest F5 order
 

arrived last week. Love 'em. Great to work with. Figuring out the tweaking specifics with them more and more.

As I have said before excellent craftsmanship and finish. Top shelf.

re
 

I am not a tweaker , yet . I am going to try to tweak some tonight and see how I can get them to perform.

If any of you run into trouble just call! 620-904-7000

Good for me
 

I have a few and I need more. Since the last "Tweak" I've had great success. I think we another post on tweaking these bases because of the thickness of the prongs. But I'll tell you for the heavier figures they work great. As far as front lean on the figures; I know to cut the rear prongs down. But all in all a good base.
