Hi Bob,
Nice to meet you. I am well aware of projection,pars, et al. For about 10 years I used to informally "make" TG figs of all the races in New York.I have used TG Figs for 18-20 years(about) with great success.Alan Rosenthal was unofficially promoting the product back then at the Staten Island simulcast.The figs were chicken scratch on graph paper and came with a rubberband. The figs were "gold" for a long time.
In the process of "making"/ projecting the tg fig after the card back then,I would come very close to Jerry's fig as would several others TG users.I stopped doing that about 6 years ago.When you use any product for a long time it is easy to spot change. Jerry can argue but the product/figs have changed dramatically lately and I am NOT the only user saying it.After investigating for about two years, I can only conclude that the current projection method is the root cause. I suspect Jerry will confirm that he has not changed anything in this regard.
There has NEVER been so many "ugly" TG pairs, EVER.I say that from my experience with the product.There has been and will be issues with figs( like Bob and John, a very ugly group of pairs). NO other figure maker that I checked, agrees with TG on this except Beyer who is still several lengths off TG.Jerry has stated that he only considers Beyer credible.I should have the figs of the five fig makers at some point fairly soon. I'll post them but don't know if they will stay up.
