but they look real nice.

they act how shit, dear trash.
this centres to center how it wants. If you have control panel under angle you will get QCF after centres to center.
balltop have bad dimensions 38mm (for baker's hands), shaft have bad height - you play on this how on Eiffl Tower (for NBA players)
this looks nicely but is scrap-iron

what?

are you saying the sticks are too tall?

are you saying the ball topis too big?

Also I wouldn't buy from slikstik. They are in the middle of a big scandal right now. check the thread over at arcadecontrols for info.

he's from poland, dude. try joining a polish forum and posting there. for someone who doesn't speak english as a first language (if at all) he did a pretty good job of getting his point across. to paraphrase: it's too tall, too large, and doesn't return to neutral very quickly, if at all if the cabinet mount is slanted. overall, it's quite crap, but looks nice.

edit: this isn't intended to sound harsh, just an appeal for politeness and understanding to the foreign posters.

I ordered the original stainless steel from slikstik. The shipping will arrive on tomorrow. :lovin: I've a Happ p360 stick.

I have aluminum ball tops and bat tops from Slikstik which are a bit lighter than the stainless steel, though still more weight than the stock handles. You NEED to replace the stock spring with the heavy spring and then it is not so bad.

They are designed to go under 3/4" material with art and lexan so they are about 1/4" taller than stock sticks.

To solve the ugly height issue I was able to mount my ball tops onto the shorter shaft that comes with the bat tops.

Were I to build again, I would ditch the flashy tops and buy the plastic ball tops that TornadoTerry's sells for the Happ Comps.

Or just use stock comps.

my $0.02

So from what i gather from member posts here, those slikstik's may "look" good but fail when put to use, mainly due to the weight/height issues? 'kay.

Perhaps in the future the makers can craft much lighter versions, and model the height to match that of standard stick shafts to eliminate these issues.

I love the 3rd pic of that joystick-table thingy. Looks like it would be REALLY stable and comfy to play on espeically if you can adjust the height on it :wonder:

too long
too large diameter balltop
too heavy - it alters dynamics

this has only one +. the diameter of shaft has the larger thickness than original handles - 13mm. P360 less crunches.
