Question???

I was just on the Miggle website and clicked under products to look at some bases, cuz i need some bases. i was looking at prolines and it said "Strong" or "Fast". does this mean that i won't need to tweak them when i buy them?

As it it with all bases, there will always be a little tweaking needed.

it figured to be to good to be true

Ya.. the bases they are calling "fast" have smaller (but not shorter) prongs.. while the strong ones are wider..

That's not to say that you can't get some speed out of the "strong" bases.. it's just easier with the fast ones..

Some time back I bought some "strong" rookie bases thinking the same thing. What I found is that they aren't really all that strong, but the ones I had ran fairly straight and were faster than the "fast" bases that I had. I thought that right out of the bag that they would make some good running back bases. They also seemed to work well as safety bases too.I'll buy more when I need them.

The Proline strong rookie bases, are not that strong, they are however, much better at running straight right out of the package, exactly as RavennaAl had stated. You stand a pretty good chance of getting some decent runners out of these with out tweaking them. Not saying every pack is a winner but they have proven to consistently have some good runners right out of the box. I found this to be true of both the round and straight fronts.

Learn to tweak all bases, it is extremely satisfying to field a team of good runing bases that you tweaked with your own hands, even if right off you don't have strength monsters or lightning fast runners. Tweak a couple of teams so that you have some good directional bases, that makes for a good scrimmage.

thanks guys. i'm new, and so far i have only tweaked rookie bases. i am going to buy some of the regular miggle TTC bases and get used to tweaking those, then i'll move up onto the prolines and probebly buzzball.

You always need a plan !!!

what are some other good bases out there?

The proline rookies do not need to much tweaking.Just squeezing the prongs will give you more speed.

I concur with your statement RavennaAl. What I've found in the few short weeks of learning these bases is that the PL strong rookies give you a greater percentage of good bases out of the package. That's great for someone just learning how to tweak like myself. BUT...I am finding that the few duds that come in those packages are hard as heck to tweak.

It's a process...still learning.
