Does the arm have play in it when you bring it back or is it very stiff? I hope the answer is that it does have play. Meaning that you can pull the arm back and it could go a little to the left or right. Making the coach have some skill on a accurate pass by making sure they pull it stright back. Then it would be like a TTQ and it should have a good chance to be allowed in EF leagues out there.

MM it does have a lil' play in the arm, but not much. You will have to practice with it. Also you won't have to worry about breaking any ankles with this QB, it's a more than a one season QB. Lastly, you can really get some power with the bullet passes. You'll never ask again did it "Hit'em".

Darrian.

Tony,
Yes it does have a little play in the arm, just as you describe. The thing to remember about the TDQ is that it is still a passing aparatus. By that I mean just buying it will not make you an excellent passer. You still have to put the same time and effort into practicing with it just as with the TTQB. What it will offer is a wider range of TYPES of passes that can be thrown.
It was never my intention to make any MF equipment obsolete. Quite the contrary, alot of focus was placed on todays hobby standards in creating the TDQ to fit within them. For example heigth & weight.
As far as leagues & Tourneys allowing them its out of my hands. But I agree with you I think once everyone is exposed to it face to face then it should start seeing its way into a few games and play football like it was designed to do.
Thanks for asking!


Geno H

My thoughts on the TDQ and my passing ability.. (or lack thereof which is the main problem)... The TDQ will make it so much easier for me to be more consistent with my passing..

PS GENO.. get on the chat.. lol

As Raven Maniac stated, pass completions are quite obvious, as this thing will rock the receiver with a powerful pass. Another little plus, as you can become skilled enough to turn your receiver's direction with a pass completion. I see this done with the current TTQB but this TDQB has tons more power. If you play with a rule set that allows no pivoting of the receiver after a completion, you can easly turn your receiver with a well placed pass.

C'mon Geno, No more free time for Sparky...to heck with the child labor laws...chain him up in the basement with TDQ parts and get the assembly line going. He would just get in trouble on the streets anyway so consider it as doing him a favor.
