Default 4.0 teams?

To the coaches that play with 4.0 weighted teams. Do use a standard miggle team and weight the bajesus out of it or do you use big men? Thanks for the answers in advance.

I use all customs including Jennings , 513 , Frank Jacobs among others on my 4.0 teams .
Believe it or not everyone of my players have to have lead tape added to the platform to come up to weight.
Alot of it might depend on the bases chosen for the figure also .

One of the nice things about using putty of one sort another is that you can position the putty in various places under the base to change the weight distribution of the figure/base combo.....and that can really help make a player follow the path you want him to!!!

you're right, putty helps a lot especially when you play with exotic poses custom figs. You can "fix" the gravity center of them.
