I have to go with 4.0, players perform and respond better to higher board speeds at this weight. Higher board speeds obviously mean more excitement and also one heck of a pass rush, that QB better look out! I just spent some time experimenting and starting to get my Clemson squad up to 4.0 tonight.
A couple of coaches in LA turned me onto lead tape under the player base to get weight up. I like it way better than the old putty under the base trick. Lead tape is the way to go in my opinion. I believe 4.0 needs to be the hobby standard, I really don't see why there is an issue and so much resistance from some coaches. If you got a really killer team decaled and based up at 3.2, then get some lead tape this weekend at a golf proshop, tennis shops carry it too and have some fun when you crank that board speed up. No one likes to wait seven seconds while your receiver tries to run 30 yards after a pass reception at 3.2 grams and your board set on Grandma speed. Get your team up to 4.0, that is figure and base TOGETHER weigh 4.0 and kick it up a notch! Forget separate base weight and the figure weight too. I never understood that, I think it may have its roots in preventing boiked bases from being used on the sly. Look at leagues playing at 4.0 now or very seriously entertaining the thought, look at the interest in the 4.0 college series, guys are ready to make this move.
