I was throwing this question out because I am still working on the new bad plastic PL's and I can not afford errors on any of the good stuff when I graduate to that level. I have my error pile and a few signed draft pics as well. Coach Don and others you are so right...practice, trial and error. I posed the PL question because the 1st runs are tough to come by and when I destroyed a few I had to throw tha question out there.

Instead of squeezing the front prongs simply try curling them towards the back of the base, I don't squeeze the front of many bases as it tends to make them to limber

I flash bases to make them faster, I have flashed a base several times until I get the desired speed. Simply move the flame under the prongs quickly, do it to slow and you'll burn the prongs, making the base nothing more than a waterboy.
