Geno, is that thing spring loaded like the passer? Maybe now I can retire from making all those kickers for everyone. I'll give it 3 thumbs up just for that. thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ ppls$

Give me a call man when you get a chance.

Al,
The TDK is spring loaded but not like the TDQ. It is a different concept all together. The TDK kicker you have control of the amount of force,just as you do in the TDQ. thmbsp$ You are not locked in to one setting. This is what seperates the TDQ & TDK from the existing QB/K. Hence the name "TOUCH".

I've been waiting for this man to show for a long time.

Do you have a clearer photo of what your TDQ looks like? I am definitely interested in purchasing one in the near future.

HEY G! OUTSTANDING! WE IN THE LAEFL HAVE A MEMBER THATS IN A WHEEL CHAIR, HE AND OTHERS WILL BE PLACING AN ORDER,I ALSO. MY QUESTION IS WHERE CAN I FIND BASIC SPRING MECHANISMS LIKE THE QBK FROM THE EARLY 60s No.500 THIS WAS MY 1st EXPOSURE TO ELF(MY BROTHERS BOARD). RECENTLY I'VE PURCHASED ONE OFF OF EBAY, AND I PLAN TO SEND IT 2 MY BROTHER IN ATLANTA(AGE 58) BUT THE QBK NEEDS AN OVER-HAUL. I'VE TRIED ALL TYPES OF FRAIL WIRE,BUT I'M NOT WHERE I WANT 2 BE. ALSO I SAW YOUR QB AT E. ROBINSONS HOUSE LAST WEEK(REVOLUTIONIZED) YOUR PRODUCT IS GOING TO OPEN UP DOORS IN THIS HOBBY!!!(AGAIN WHAT TYPE OF WIRE FOR THE OLD QBK 1963?)

I don't know what kind of wire was used in those old passers, but I've made lots of kickers with springs. Try using the spring out of an old ball point pen. Simply unravel it and re-shape it to fit your passser. The metal tension in those springs is perfect for kickers, and they last forever. I have 35 year old kickers that still kick a mile. I would think that they would work just as well for passing. thmbsp$

ajahaana,
Thanks for the kind words. The early 60's QBK you speak of had a very light spring in the neighborhood of .008 to .010 I would simply go to your local hardware and by some music wire in the .010 to .015 and make your own spring. The ball point pen wire is from .30 to .45 so it will work but will be plenty strong. If you have trouble finiding it let me know & I will help you.

LARamsfan,
No I dont have a better picture.(camera stinks) We are going to debut the TDK on the opening day of Tornado Alley this Saturday the 10th. Both Kansas Bill and Wolf have excellent cameras so there should be some great shots.

Geno H

Hey Geno, you still shipping tomorrow?

Hughston,
Yes sir! Shipping begins Tommorrow.


Geno H

Geno,

When did you start shipping today? It's now 4:40 PM and mine's not here yet. Do you think something's wrong? I'll check the mailbox every 20min and will let you know if as soon as they get here...but so far they're not here.

I'm just a little excited if you can't tell.

I may sleep by the mailbox in case your delivery driver gets here during the night!!

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!

What a great idea! my TDK is here for the long weekend of kicking!
Thanksppls$ thmbsp$ drl$$

To coaches using the TDK, can you update the rest of us on how the new kicker is working out? (I'm sure Geno would like to know) If it's anything like the TDQ then I know it will be a big hit.$cch$

DC

TDK Rocks! I love it. It is a super simple idea but works beautifully. With practice you can perform pooch punts, soccer style, straight up and onsides kicks. I have not missed since getting it yet it still requires the same skills you used with the TTQB. I think it gives the game a much more realistic style of kicking. I have not used the TTQB since getting my new TDK and TDQ and will only use those as long as they are legel within the format I am playing!

Bump for 2badjim! Here ya go buddy.thmbsp$

Geno H

Great Kicker
 

One of the best new MF product out now. You don't have go through 20 kickers to find 1 good kicker . Just buy the TDK you'll save yourself the headache.

Darrian

It definitely requires skill but there is a consistency factor that is what sets it apart (as well as the TDQ).

I went to passing sticks and kicking cards because of the inconsistency and frustrations with trying to use the TTQB. Well....that is gone now.

Using the old TTQB...you were bending plastic to create force with very little control on how the plastic was being contorted (left or right) when making the play. This would result in some throws/kicks slightly left or right than where you wanted them and some throws/kicks that had more or less force behind it than you would anticipate.

With the springs....you have much more consistency. The kicker is great because you're not hoping for the right force and flick reaction when you release the catch. You actually pull the leg back to ensure the angle and force you want to apply to the ball.

As for the QB, your throws will almost always be straight because the arm pivots independent from the body. Again, the spring adds consistency to the force and accuracy of each throw as well.

In both cases you still have to use player angle, ball angle and ball position and practice for a consistent release of the spring....but the spring feature adds much more control and consistency to the equation.

Again, using springs instead of contorting plastic is the easiest way to explain why both work better. You don't have to be a pro to see results. The increased consistency and dependability with the TDQ & TDK will reduce the majority of the frustration many people experienced when trying to use the TTQB.

As expected, I'm hearing all good things about the new kicker. I've already made up my mind to get one (or two). Enough of the the pros...are there any cons to the new TDK that we should know about?

BUMP
 

I just recieved a TDK and I want to say that this thing is GREAT!!! At first I was bombing kicks out of the park but then I switched to the proline (brown) footballs and then the EFDW big "pill" balls and it lowered the trajectory and it was a thing of beauty. I played around with that thing for over a half hour. I definately recommend a slightly heavier ball as thats what I've enjoyed using with it the most.

Great addition to the hobby Geno! ppls$ ppls$ ppls$
