3 More TTQB's Breakdown On Me This Week

[detroitchild]

I got a few from coach K-lo a couple of weeks ago and they're much better than what Miggle sells.

Because it is always ME passing, I stopped trying to field a separate TTQB for every team. Once you zero it in, the motion is the same, thus becoming tedious to have more than one. One is more than enough with 2-3 backups in case of Injuries.

I painted my one and only TDQ into my favorite QB - Terry Bradshaw and although I still haven't recreated the Steelers of yesteryear, TB is like my "all-time QB" just like when we played back on the block.

Another suggestion would be to teach yourself to not crank the TTQB back so far and just flick it. The type of football would probably help as well. I suggest a felt ball which doesn't require as much pullback as the foam, puff daddy or ice cream sandwich footballs. While you're at it, teach yourself how to throw loft passes over other players and you don't have to rocket launch everything, thus breaking your one and only TTQB.

Just a few helpful hints.

PS, if you want to paint your TTQBs, then only do so with the old white bighead TTQBs! Good Luck.

On the Field that is..
I can't imagine just using one QB for the same teams without painting the QB the same color for that Team.
I'm just like seven up on this one.... never have, never will. I'll go that extra mile to make my QB's be efficient every time I play with them, I give'm PLENTY of reps at passing also so I don't forget how that QB is throwing or kicking " shank'n the pig skin Left, or right during Field Goal Attempts " Painted for Picture day just like the ball carriers... yes sir Jimbo Buddy!!.. I dont' single out QB's player's or have a Favorite. I make sure can be effective with any, and all of my teams.
That's how I " and we did " run things like that here in Okla back in the day. Always keeping fresh paint on the QB's that they play for..
On the other So called Problem that I know i'm no where close at having with the my passing too aggressive you assuming i'm having.
I'm cool with Passing with one hand, always have, and will always continue to strike down field with one set of hands. My passing game is still the same after 20 + years of not playing.
It was like riding a bike all over again really, I got soft touch lofty throws, down the field stretch throw on a rope pass, and my famous Rainbow throw in zone coverage Traffic. I'm not that heavy handed on every throw I attepmpt to be breaking weak products like miggles. In fact, my 20 + year old QB is still withstanding my throws til this day, so? what's the deal with the other new 12 QB's?.. Thanks for the imput, trust me, it's not my techniques passing lol....

The new Miggle TTQBs are just terrible I agree. I dinked around with these for too long until I finally got myself some old school white Tudor TTQBs and the plastic is so much better, very robust and can fire the ball. My son would break a Miggle QB within 5 passes every time bar none. What happens when people buy this product and then it breaks like this. They must give up on it. My recommendation would be to watch for old school TTQBs on Ebay, that is probably your best bet in accumulating a full set of them at a reasonable price.

That Would be the outcome to fixing my missques with Miggles faulty QB's!?

Here's a radical method to save the most abused and under-engineered piece of the TTQB- the ankle. It supports the weight of the player's thumb, and provides the force for kicks.

Bear in mind TTQB plastic is softer than the regular figure plastic.

Some years ago, I encountered the same problem. I solved it by-

1. Heating a straight pin as hot as it can get

2. Sticking the hot pin into the TTQB from the bottom up into the ankle.

3. It will take a few "stabs" to get this right. Heat the heck out of the pin before each attempt. Use pliers and keep a steady grip. View the needle to verify it clears the ankle.

4. Clip off the excess with diagonal cutters as close as you can. Slap a base on the bottom.

5. Fire at will.

All I need to know is?, What type of wire? or needle " like, a sewing Needle? " and i'm on it.......

I used straight push pins, because they were 100-pack for cheap. I suppose sewing needles would work as well.

WARNING- You will break a few in the process until you get proficient at this.

Good luck. Get a few right and they will work for years. I use some I did about 6 years ago, still work great.
