Default are the edfw footballs

coaches,


Are the edfw footballs allowed in any league play ?

If they are not allowed can someone please explain thr reason.

They were made for electric football at some point by some company.

SPEAKING OF FF.NET, PROLINE AND MIGGLE BIGMEN FIGURES ONLY. Do you think these edfw footballs are a decent size for these bigger figures. Miggle made the smaller football from the start for there regular sized figures. I think the smaller football works well with haiti repro's and also.

The maker of the edfw footballs. what figures did they have in mind for it's use during the course of a game ? It's not like your going to hit every pass with these edfw's. Is it that far off in size from the ice cream footballs.

During the course of a game, if a coach pulls out a edfw to pass, will the ref's and league stop that person. Im thinking there were only 4 footballs made in the history of elctric football

1) miggle foam football

2) miggle white felt football

3)miggle ice cream football

4) edfw footballs.


so are these edf's another thing that is outlawed ????


****quick note, just as reg and the shootout style of play allow's you to use ulimited browns bases. There are some who won't let you use the base because the plastic is too thick """ what ???? """ Somebody has to explain that one to the ef world. Why not try to beat the figure on the brown base instead of outlawing it.

Like i said earlier, we have BIGGER FIGURES NOW so is the edfw a go ???


thanx

mantaraydre

ps/some did not want to use the ice cream football because it knocked players over. I say, at least you know you hit the receiver. PICK HIM UP AND TURN AND BURN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

WHATS THE CASE FOR THE E.D.F.W. ??????????

most leagues ban them because of their size compared to traditional footballs

we allow them in the BEFL!

Thumbs up They are big!

I could sure use them most of the time the way I pass!

Realistically, it's like throwing and catching a compact vehicle!

I personally feel they are too large. I compare it to, if the NFL would let receivers carry giant butterfly nets around to catch the balls. It is then a different game.

Just because something is made for EF/MF doesn't mean it is right or good for the game.

If you put a lighter to them they shrink in size making them allowable for play. That is what I have done to them......

Thumbs up For me they helped bring my passing game to a point of comfortabilty..

The risk is knocking over men and interceptions...the gain is the deep ball and losing the fear of trying to pass. You still have to hit the wr or target.!!! My good friend Mo told me "Just take a deep breathe and believe" I did and hit a couple with the traditional size balls. I am on a hunt because I am teaching the kids to pass and what better ball to use than..a pill..it helped me. I also need a few for myself for yes they still help me Every Coach is not a natural passer...just as every Coach is not a natural run strategist...just as some can score but cant stop the opposition...just as some can stop but never put 3 led alone 7 on the board....my point? I agree when you reach a certain level of play your equipment will change...and so will your strategies. I use the pill for deep passes and the lil ones for "threading the needle"
Ban, sman....just keep the playing field leveled and keep them banned all year that way training camps are conducted with the banned" items in mind. Look throwing the ball is a work of art and the QB is much more vital than the actual ball...but knowing the balance of your ball is much more vital than it being "too Big" or "too small" my 2 cents... I will pass any ball ball !!!!!!! Where in the pass I thought I could simply run up the gut forever nope a balanced attack is a must MAKE ALL BALLS LEGAL just kidding if it is in the rules than it is respected

Default But how far

mo/coaches,


If your going to shrink the football, how far down in size must it be shrunk ?

CAN IT BE SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE ICE CREAM FOOTBALL ?

THEN WHAT IS THE INTERPITATION OF SLIGHTLY ?


L liken these efdw's to the boat base. Which is larger than the normal size base. But they are allowed in some arena's. If you frankenstein a base, that base will be alot bigger and stronger than a normal base. Those are allowed.
That's an SUV/ limo on the field with cabs. But it all balances out.

I can see a rule implemented stating a coach can use a EDFW FOOTBALL when the receiver is a certain distance away from the line of scrim. LETS SAY 25 TO 30 YARDS on a 308 or watts board.
Im not really sure if a coach set up a receiver 25 yards away and threw 20 passes to him. He will hit all 20. just because the football is a little bigger you still miss left or right if your an average ttqb/tdq passer. So it all equals out.

It's like a golpher, they use a certain club for a closer shot, and a different club for a longer shot.

Also, this football will increase the interception rate. If there are 2 defenders in the area, it's going to hit somebody !


THANX

Default Honestly Dre

I could care less as long as its within reason and a coach isn't passing with a miniature nerf football.....it should have semblance to what is issued by miggle and others....I shrink them down to an acceptable size...I like them because they are stable and not all frayed....
