Miggle's Proline TTC bases, you use the dial from these bases in the standard TTC shell, they have prongs designed for strength tweaking.

Of all the possible base and dial combinations out there, I have yet to find anything that tweaks up better for strength.


As Michigan Joe mentioned, if it's a definite hard pull to the right or left this can be overcome by adjusting the prong length. He mentions something very important, if you have a base where the prong itself is "crooked" or coming out from the base at an angle, this can also cause left or right movement, usually it's a lot less severe left or right, but it's still there.

When I tweak a base and it runs fairly straight but the back or front end is kicking out to the left or right, I will check it and it's usually because the prong is crooked where it attaches to the base. I have a base that runs beautifully and in between the hash marks end to end on my big board, but due to the misaligned prong angle he almost runs in complete sideways fashion.

Lots of stuff to look at and consider when working with these things.

It's fun though and you have a great support network right here.
