Diamond Directional Test

[Electric Coach]

I received my diamond directional bases today. The base weighs in at 1.3g. I spent 10 minutes tweaking one base. When I mounted a Haiti repro blocker on the base it held its ground, but it didn’t impress me enough to be considered for a lineman position.

Next, I switched the base to a Haiti repro defensive back. It matched well against my lineman, which is mounted on a boiled base. That impressed me, but I don’t use that figure on the line. At corner back, it dominated my hybrid receivers, which are a combination of Football Figures.com and Buzzball figures. The base really shined on a cover corner. No receiver was able to get open.

So, I moved the base to a Buzzball Mr. Everything figure, which I use to play tight end and full back. On that type of figure, the base performed well. It blocked linemen and held its ground.

The speed is decent; the base sailed across the board. Currently, I am working to get that balance of strength and speed out of this one base. Overall I am pleased with the performance of this base. This particular base will be put on one of my teams.
