Mark,
You have it covered, You have done this before so the base building is the easy part. The money IS VERY TOUGH. But the hardest part is selling them. The F5 is a great base.That has not been blessed by ANY of the heavy hitters in this hobby. Newcomers have bought all we have sold for the most part.( which isnt very many). This is the part that has me baffled. The fact that the BIG BOYS wont even give it a try. I DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!! Trust me the F5 is VERY VERSATILE base.

The only other thing I will add is I stand no monetary gain for the success of the F5 I am just a spokesman and product tester. I buy my own bases at retail from Tornado Alley EFS.

I only have one bag and have not given them the lab test just yet. I only worked with one before I had to work on my SWB team ( a lot of good that was)....

Don't feel bad about it. If you are tweaking "G-Force" bases are they are NOT F5 - ask yourself 'Why not??'
just a thought.......

......... sorry Mike.........

So far I have found them a bit tippy. Shortened the rear prongs as you suggested in the "tweak" but still having some trouble. I am new to the tweaking though so maybe it is me. I may call you for advice Geno - is that ok? Working on training some to add to my Packers that will be playing in the NYEFL this year - first season in league.

Mark,I've called a couple of times and if you get a chance please give me a call. I know you are busy though. I can't wait to see these bases. How long till they would come out?

Mark, I love the way you are thinking. A base that would do it all would be very exciting! What about a base that is both strong and fast? You know I'm like Jerry Jones, if it's possible, I gotta have that player.

Mark,

1. If the prongs are wide (strong bases), the plastic must be soft and these prongs are better a little long. Additionally, wider prongs must be thinner (>.4 mm) in width. True

2. If the prongs are thin (fast bases), the plastic must be harder than that used for strong bases and the prongs must be shorter to support the weight. Likewise, thinner prongs must be slightly thicker (.4 mm) in width. True but not shorter to hold the weight. The harder plastic will make up for this.

3. On a TTC base, the prongs in the wheel must be thinner because they cannot be as long due to the thickness of the wheel. True... I think

4. Two prongs on each side is always better than just one (not too sure about this one). True

5. Longer prongs are generally better because it is a simple process to cut them. It is much more difficult to pulle prongs evenly. Without a doubt

6. Prongs should be set as close to the front or back and outside of a base as possible. True

7. If possible (the base does not move sideways), a base should have a forward lean. In other words, the back of the base should be higher than the front. Always

8. The darker the base, the more color was used and as a result the base is more stiff and less productive. I have heard that this is true

9. Bases must be in accordance with general EF standards to be successful in the marketplace. Without a doubt

10. A platform of 24mm is best. The smaller Miggle men will not fall off, yet the buzzball figures and Miggle big men still fit. Yes!

Wally
