BEST TYPE OF FOOTBALL TO USE?
 

Just wondering what type of football most use? If most use the Miggle balls, I am hoping it is the Proline balls? Do they have slots in them already? All I have are the felt type, so I need to know this to stay in keeping!

I can speak for the rest of the coaches but it is really a matter of preference. Yes the prolines already have a slot in them. Personally I prefer the footballs that are felt especially when it comes to kicking FG's. The ones for Buzzball are good as well. Maybe get all three and decide the ones you like since they all of them are inexpensive. Hope this helps.

Thank You Coach J! Greatly appreciated but can you give me a bit of detail how you find success using those small felt footballs?

i like
 

i like the tan foam rubber balls tudor produced in the mid 70's.......they last forever as long as you dont lose them on the floor....haha

Whats funny is that even on the Miggle DVD that comes with some new games shows a different ball than that is actually given with game? The DVD makes no reference to different balls either from what I seen.

My eyes aren't what they used to be, that's why I like using the white felt balls. They are easier to follow than the brown rubber ones. As far as kicking goes, do yourself a great favor and buy a TDK from Geno. Those things are the greatest invention since sliced bread! thmbsp$

Since I am a new one here, please tell me where to get this TDK ball of Geno's?

Do a member search for Geno H and then send him a PM. By the way, the TDK is a kicker, not a ball, though you will probably have a ball using it. :rtfl: They kick great, a million times better than the TTQB. Here's a pic of one that is painted.

the footballs that work best for me (passing) are the big white felt footballs from (efdw) but since they are no longer in business all i can tell you is too check ebay for some or use the miggle felt balls they work good to, as for kicking its miggle felt footballls .:chr: :chr:

I agree that the white felt balls are by far easier to track.However,I seem to have problems with the fraying apart on me.I may be slightly more partial to the old foam balls but I lost so many of them I could've made a couch out of them.I like the look of the leather balls but after a while (especially without use) they get extremely hard.

Ok, here is another real rookie question,.....with the felt balls, what do you do with a new ball? What is the communities general rules, cutting a slot in the ball, using moisture on the ball, ...whats the do's and don'ts?

The balls already have a slit cut in the middle so you will not need to do so. As I mentioned earlier the balls are inexpensive so order a set and you decide which one or ones you prefer.

Coach J

They already have them? I have the white felt ones and can't find any slots? If possible can someone explain where on these little things they are?

all pre-cut ball have a slot on them,but you have to "break" the edge sometimes to find it's starting point.

i have "ball boxes" for sell ...will post a pictures of the tpyes I have available

some of boxes have some of these favorites

"big pill" - EFDW special
"puff daddy"- Tudor LARGE foam
"big and little" leather balls
miggle felt
miggle foam
miggle 'ice cream'
old school felt

k-lo

Well, looking at the ball, is this slot on the narrow side that goes the length of the ball, or on one of the ends? Sorry!

THERE IS A MORE POINTED END ONE THE FELT BALLS AND ONE END IS MORE FLAT THE GROOVE SHOULD ALREADY BE CUT INTO THE FLAT , WHAT I DO IS GET A PERMANENT MARKER (A BRIGHT COLOR ) AND COLOR THE OPPOSITE END OF THE BALL SOO YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW WHICH END IS WHICH ALSO WHEN IT FALLS ON THE FLOOR ITS EASIER TO SPOT(UNLESS YOUR BLIND LIKE REVENNA AL) LOL:rtfl: :rtfl: ltsplbll ltsplbll
HOPE THIS HELPS A BIT.

Now that is what I am talking about,...thank You styx!
