Quality
The arrival of the custom board has revolutionized the board experience. It is not just the size and look of the board that has coaches asking what board is best. It’s the sturdiness and the performance of the board that draws the attention of coaches.
The earlier 600 model boards were made of a thicker gauge sheet metal, which made it sturdy. The playing field didn’t bubble or sag. The transformer combined with the thicker gauge metal also produced a smooth and consistent vibration. The board produced a lower pitch hum. Miggle stopped producing that type of board. They started producing a newer version of the 600 model. That version was made from a thinner gauge sheet metal. That board sagged and bubbled in the middle. After the board was run, the coach had to pop the field back down to take out the bubble. The thinner sheet metal waved up and down when the transformer vibrated. This combination of sheet metal and transformer produced a higher pitch sound, which sounded something like eHHHHHHHH. It sounds horrible.
Over the years, Miggle has skimped on quality. As a result, they have lost ground in the market.
