Aat All Ttqb Passers
 

How do you keep the white TTQB'S from breaking a leg after constant use ?

I was practicing throwing with 2 white ttb's and after a while i noticed there legs became weaker and weaker then snaped. That is not the right kind of plastic for that type of figure and it's usage. Is there any type of glue or some sort of "WHATEVER" to put around the legs before using so that part of the TTQB' S body is stronger and able to handle the continued use .

IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA'S, PLEASE LETS HEAR IT.

P.S/ WHY DID MIGGLE SWITCH FROM THE "MORE POWERFULL YELLOW TTQB'S TO THE DELICATE WHITE ONES ? Not a knock on miggle but WHAT ARE THEY DOING ?"

i have had the exact same problem. i had tried building up around the ankle with super glue, but it still snapped at a higher point. i have tried tenax-7, model glue, no good result for me. i just switched over to the yellow ttqb.

Here is how I solved the problem. Just give the ball to Csonka more.lffng$
I also had to switch to the yellow qb's .

Oddly enough, I've only ever had yellow TTQB's break. My white ones have always done fine.

Can't kick for a darn, but anyway.

I am with you on this one, Roo......

Anyway, I have a few "old school" white TTQB left in my collection, send me a PM and we can see about getting you one or two of them......thmbsp$

thanks for the reminder, WW........thmbsp$

Try this
 

Bruce Watts told me to take you TTC and let it sit in vinager for a couple of days. I hope this helps.

I can't remember if I read this or heard it, not sure if it's fact or fiction. Get a red hot needle/pin and push up through the base into the foot and into the lower leg, then trim the remainder of the needle off flush with the base.

Like I said, never tried it, just remember hearing or reading it somewhere along the line. Not sure how far you would be able to push the needle into the plastic before it cools too much and stops going further.

I may give this one a try this weekend.


Anyone hear of this?

never heard of it, but i can definitely see how it would work. thanks!

i have to find some of this plastic fusion that kansas bill talks about, sounds like some really toxic stuff.thmbsp$

Att Kansas Bill
 

Hey bill,

What is your method of applying this glue ? Do you just spread some on before using the ttqb ? Do you notice the difference after the glue is on ?

I wonder if reveena al can solve this problem !

Interesting...
 

It sounds like it would work...

I have a white TTQB that's got some ankle issues and it's worth a shot to try and fix him this way...

I plan on giving it a try tonight...I'll let you know how it goes...

I tried the pin method once. Stuck my finger, burned my finger and threw the QB away that I was trying to fix. It was more work then it was worth but maybe you will have better luck. I have seen Bills's QB and he does work better with the super fusion stuff!

Wolf,
Did you learn that passing method from Tom Ruesink or did he learn that from you? I saw Tom pass that way at his show (in practice only, I think he put down the sticks EVERY time in the games) and was impressed!

I might have seen others do it this way but when it finally hit home was while I watched my 3 year old son try passing. I noticed his grip and the light came on.

I bought Plastic Fusion based on Kansas Bills mention of it in another post. You should have no trouble finding it at Home Depot, it works good too.

Anyone Ever Tried This
 

Ever heard of a product called J.B Weld? It's a two part epoxy resin and hardner, but it works wonders on stuff like motors, stripped threads cracks, etc...I always have a couple of tubes in my garage, I may try some on a TTQB ankle and see how it works on that plastic. It works on a lot of stuff, I have seen it do some miraculous things in the garage, really good product.

I will see what it does to a TTQB ankle, similar to the way the Plastic Fusion is being used.

Here's a pic and they have a good website too.

BTW...I tried this and it went nowhere. Maybe the pin I tried it with wasn't the right choice and I should have gone with a needle because the pin just ended up bending before I made any real progress into the player base...

So on to other options...

I am surprised Weirdwolf had problems with the glue...you know...all that hair on his knuckles...must have been a real problem when the hair came off...rtfl$ lffng$ mgngcrz

Tudor white TTQB
 

I finally got my hands on some old school white Tudor TTQBs (the ones with the post on the bottom of the platform that came with a unique base). Anyways, WOW what a difference the right material makes for the TTQB. These 70s Tudor TTQBs have a much more elastic material than the current design (even better that a couple of the 80s yellow TTQBs I have). You can throw 48" bullet passes and I was pleasantly surprised at the ability to throw the touch pass too.

Why couldn't Miggle recapture this old recipe, the current TTQBs will surely ruin the TTQB passing for any newbie :confused: . I'd recommend anyone who enjoys the passing to give up on the current Miggle and find themselves an old school TTQB.

well, cause they don't see it the same..........


if anyone has a need for some of these TTQB, I still have some left.
