COACHES,


jimbo makes some incredible points, that is a great post. Im glad this entire weight topic is the order of the day because i think alot of us are unsure about the entire topic. Breakdowns and blueprints regarding how players perform with weight or no weight needs to be in black and white. Coaches ad weight for more strength but maybe they have the wrong idea. I spoke with a coach on the phone and he asked me do i want the weight standard increased to add a manufactures figure (reggies) to my team. The answer was yes I like and want to use his figures without having to shave, drill and cut just to play in a tourney with a weight standard lighter than his figures. His figures are now part of the standard, their a little heavier and old standards need to be ajusted. Should his fig's be left out because they dont fit the old guard, ofcourse not.

I understand their has to be a cut off point, reg has been around a long time and his figs derserve to be the bar for the new standard. What if a new manufacturer made fig's heavier than ff.com fig's, that new figures maker needs to read the cut off NEW standard weight and know they cant go any higher than that. (Whatever is the heaviest ff.com figure out of the bag unpainted should be the cut point.( 2.whatever gram)

I would like to hear other breakdowns of weighted performances vs non weighted performance.

ONE OTHER THING- During a tourney i think their are some coaches that have the weight situation mixed up. When the rules say weight must be 3.0 or 3.2, i think coaches think every player should weigh the 3.0 or 3.2. You can have players weigh less like 2.8 or 2.6, their you would have your weight differences, but alot are focused on the 3.2 (my stupid self included) I think if a coach has a player 2.8 he feels the other coaches players are 3.2 so he must match that! Any new or fairly new guy in the hobby needs to see some serious breakdowns and explanations. sometimes we make think we know but we are suprised when we find someone lese's take on things.

HOW TO USE WEIGHT NEEDS SOME SERIOUS DISCUSSION, NOW I FEEL LIKE IM BACK IN SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU GUY'S KNOW MORE THAN I!!!

IM ALL FOR THE (4.0, 3.6. 3.2) JIMBO AND REG RUTLEDGE NEED TO BREAK THIS DOWN EVEN FURTHER " Learning a great deal from this post)
