Tweaked Bases on Different Boards

[Shabby J]

I primarily play solitaire, but have played with some friends on occasion, each time I play though it is always on my vintage 620. I have tweaked and played my teams on this board only.

My question is, when I get my 308 from Reginald will my tweaked bases perform radically different or will they stay relatively close to the movement they exhibit right now?

I am assuming a tweaked base that does what is was designed to do on one board, will not necessarily do the same thing on a different board, is this correct?

I find subtle differences even on same size same surface boards..

And.. Speed of the board makes differences on some tweaks...

620 to a 308... sheet metal to fiberboard... there'll be a difference..

There will be some difference but not much if your bases are tweaked well to start with.

I have played on a new 308 recently andwas extremly pleased with the improvements made by FF.com.

Try to find the optimum speed and try to lock it in when you get it. The majority of you players should perform the same.

it depends on the vibration. I have a speed control and I play with it a lot. Some bases are more steady than others too.

I tweak on a vintage 620 also. I make the trip to the Shootout at Texas and I love how my bases make the transition to the 308 field.

Good to hear, should be relatively close to the way they perform now.

Great, thanks for the feedback.
