Yeah...I think the dial/DDB design was a mistake made at the molding or production stage. That said, these bases are very good stable platforms. The prongs are at the corners, very much like the newer Proline rookies. I have tweaked them for speed with good success. Easy to get them to run straight and true. I have gotten some strength with these bases as well, but it is harder to do that on a consistent basis. I have been experimenting with putting DDB dials in other shells and vice versa and that has been productive. The plastic for these bases is good quality...soft and pliable...kind of like the Prolines.
