Another Idea

[Jayethekxng]

I was sitting and thinking about one of my Tight Ends in my league and how he gets open so well and i was thinking, would it be a good idea to hand sculpt different bumpers onto rookie bases. For instance a round base on a receiver or a concave bases for a corner. Just an idea my 19 year old brain runs ramped sometimes lol😂

Here’s a picture of him getting open actually😂 he’s #8 Trevor McWilliams Sophmore TE.

It's an excellent idea Jayethekxing. ITZ makes a variety of bumpers for their bases. https://www.itzbases.com

From the ITZ webpage: "These bumpers will fit all the rest of our ITZ Bases

• Championship Level 2 (CL-2) bases
• Blitz Bases
• Hitz Bases
• Starter Bases

• 
  New Arrow and Offset Bumpers – 6 Pack Black
• 
  Mint Green Arrow and Offset Bumpers – 6 Pack
• 
  New GREEN Concave and Round Bumpers – 6 Pack
• 
  New GREEN Arrow and Offset Bumpers – 6 Pack
• 
  New Concave and Round Bumpers – Black 6 Pack"

Coach Shawn uses putty to attach his bumpers. I used E-6000 to attach my bumpers.

Thanks coach i’ll definitely be investing in these although it’s pretty impressive that a lot of these receivers got open without them

I don’t use the arrow or offset though.

I used the past tense...

... because I don't use bumpers anymore.  I've posted a video on the Forum where I demonstrate that the shape of the front of the base doesn't make a difference in blocking.

In my experience — for receivers — the 'bounce' makes the difference, not the shape. The 'bounce' is when two bases collide they 'bounce' either to the left or to the right. A very strong player causes a very weak player to bounce backwards either to the left or to the right.

Therefore, receivers should be very strong so that when the bounce occurs — either to the left or to the right — the receiver pushes past the front corner of the defender's base.

A very soft base absorbs the impact kind of like the air bag in a car collision.

As you think about electric football remember the little plastic peeps are bouncing up and down and leaning forward. Vibrating resembles running but the physics are different.

Enjoy the Journey.  T43.   ⚡🏈♾️

right, i was planning on only giving bumpers to players that earned it if they had a really good season/win an award i feel like that can be an upgrade or reward.
