[Jamel_G]

Big lock we haven't been introduced and I'm fairly new to the electric football scene so I will introduce myself as Jamel G one of the founders of the Detroit City EFL and member of the Great Lakes EFL. I believe in my heart that we have some pretty good tweakers in the state of Michigan. Norbert Revels, Patrick Casey (**** good) Jim Davis, (Champ) Simmie Lassiter and Greg Hardmon. Initially when I started playing with these coaches the only way I could get their kind of power was to buy from these coaches. I have watched first hand these guys creating power bases, skilled bases, and speed bases. I was willing to learn. I just didn't get it. I would watch over and over. Yeah I was able to make some decent bases but not those 100 yards in 3 seconds speed or that animal power base. UNTIL I just decided to put in the work. I bought what I believe was THE power base and THE speed base (from Maryland) and just went into the lab not to return until I beat both of those bases. A funny thing happed along the way. I got better and created my own method. I even learned to re-tweak the older bases that I bought. To make a very long story short it dawned on me that the master tweakers are also master businessmen, well most of them, which means they will give you the training wheels and work with until you're down to just one training wheel then both wheels are gone now they can let you go. Go ride your bike. You are a rider and now you have crossed into that business where money is made and competitions are won. Base tweaking is no different from any other competition that requires equipment. Except that they can't patient their work. If you truly learn their craft you are:

A.) No longer a customer (loss of revenue)
B.) More of a threat in competition. (Loss of wins)
C.) A threat to teach others (Combination of A & B)

Now I'm sure some tweakers will come on here and dispute my claims above and before they do please answer this question first.

If I'm wrong then why is there a cost for bases in some cases where the cost is $50-$100 for one base?

Why do you have to pay for a DVD?

Also, if I'm wrong then why are you still asking for assistance after how many years have you been back in the hobby (nationally)? I believe it's been 2-3 years.

Maybe it's just me and my experiences. Don't get me wrong. These coaches will teach. But like I said before that just will go so far. You will need to find your own tools (because not all tweakers work the same), process and results. Then you will never need to buy a base ever again. Trust me. Unless you want but there will not be a need to just a want!

Just my 2cents!
