Found this review. Looks pretty good and I like that it's thinner than the default battop. Where did you find the Sanwa version? I don't see it on their site.

Bad_Boy_Brazil

He mention that he needs to take better pictures before posting on EBay. But He did send that last one.

What a great find he needs to post the jlf flavor so i can scoop one up. I've been wanting a metal bat top since the fall of lizardick.. I mean lizardlick.com

One of my online friends uses these, he says they're great.

just saw this myself 5mins ago on ebay... glad to hear about the sanwa versions, looking forward to getting those...

Bad_Boy_Brazil

Update the thread. I order one to check it out :)

teleute

I ordered a Sanwa one since my older metal battop has a few dents in it. When I get it, I'll take a few photos of it next to the Toggleme Aluminum Battop and the regular Sanwa one. All blue if y'all want to see the difference in shades.

Bad_Boy_Brazil

I got a Blue Sanwa as well. I want to check the weight difference of it.

slaycruz

I ordered a red and black one for sanwa.

qmdono

Will you consider making a LS-58 compatible shaft? I'd be interested in one, and the LS-58 is one of the newer, more popular Seimitsu sticks, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd buy one.

Joe Biank

Possibly, its looks really similar but i would have to buy one first to test it out. Or have someone that has both to see if they are compatible. For all i know they already fit:)

Solder

If they fit the LS-58, I'd order one for sure.

Please look into that. Not everyone is all about Sanwa :P

I have both and the shafts aren't the same. Here is a picture for you.


Unfortunately, as you can see, there would be no way to fit the actuator and spring washer onto the JLF shaft, and the JLF shaft wouldn't be able to fit into the pivot

I'm not currently using my LS-58 because the case I want to put it in isn't done yet, I could send you the shaft if that would help you get one and get us some Dragon Shafts fit for the LS-58. The good news is, the shaft would also fit the LS-56 which is another popular stick, and POSSIBLY the LS-33 though I do not have one or a way to test though the shaft's look similar enough.

If I sent you my shaft, what kind of turn around would we be looking at?

P.S. How come the Sanwa versions don't have shiny shafts? Is it possible to have it anodized down to the pivot as well?

P.P.S.S. (or whatever) You know, these would look really, really bad ass in a black nickel color. Check it! If you had a black nickel LS-56 stick, I'd buy it in a heart beat.

Joe Biank

It looks like the LS-58 has a brass adapter on it, mm, i would need to know what type of thread it has. If you want i can get these back to you in a day plus shipping time to make a prototype and i will hook you up with a set of your choice, sure. My bat handle uses a different thread 1/4 20 because i sell aluminum ball tops as well that come with this thread to fit but i think it would be easy to make them for the LS. I think it might be better if you could send me the whole assembly? Or at least the shaft and sleeve for sure.

Bad_Boy_Brazil

How about Korean Stick? I think some folks would like that as well.

And i will return it the same day with a custom bat handle for you for sure.

The brass adapter is the Sanwa bat top adapter. They're hard to get off so I just took the picture with it still on. I'll take it off before I send it. It uses the same threads as the JLF, when the adapter isn't on. I'll try to get it out today or tomorrow.

Joe Biank

Ok cool, sounds like it should be a no brainer. Keep me posted as far as when your sending it, and let me know what color you would like:)

What is this Korean stick you speak of? If its popular, sure i'll retro fit the Dragon to it.

Kyle

Hi Joe. Glad to see you found your way over here. There ought to be plenty of sales from our little group. I imagine it will predominantly be Sanwa orders.

Joe Biank

Nice to meet you too:)

x24

Any pics of your ball top samples?

slaycruz

I'm with badboy Brazil on the Korean stick....i have one u can use as an example to possible make a proto type.

Kyle

Suzo would be cool for this as well. I don't know that the demand is there to make it relevant.

MissionSchabernack

Ah, I think you should stay with Happ Competition and Sanwa JLF, I fear anything else isn't played enough, but maybe I am wrong. You should include aluminium balltop on Competition shaft.
Shame that the battop is a little bit more narrow :( , I would order one for my Competition stick, with the same diameters :( .
Nice project and amazing look of the battops anyway !

Kyle

Yeah I don't know how expensive it is for him to make our crazy one-offs. The JLF probably is your best bet for profitability.

Bad_Boy_Brazil

Yeah man you gotta post pics of your Balls lmao No Homo :)

LiQuiD[EViL]

They're up on his eBay now. Only color so far is silver.

Thanks for the info. Just order one. :)

Czargeist

These really do look nice. My only suggestion is, that if these turn up a good profit, to try and widen the color choice; I'd kill for a green or yellow battop.

Joe Biank

Yeah man you gotta post pics of your Balls lmao No Homo :)

Not that there's anything wrong with that:)

Joe Biank

Im trying the powder coating on the ball tops and they look amazing, i will put them up on ebay in a couple days:)

LiQuiD[EViL]

Are they all in 1 piece or do the battops/balltops screw on to the shaft? It would be great if you can use the standard sanwa thread. Here's the sanwa battop with screw thread adapter http://www.focusattack.com/sanwa-lb-30-n-s-battop-black/
and heres the adapter just by itself http://www.focusattack.com/sanwa-lb-30-n-s-battop-adapter/

I'll send it tomorrow around 11. Any chance on the black nickel color?

Joe Biank

Ok awesome. Shouldn't take me but a couple hour's to whip one up. As far as the Nickel color that would need anodizing and thats something i would need a large order for. Like 100 pieces but i might be able to find a smoked powder coat.

Moonchilde

A smoked powder coat would be fine. I'm sure a lot of people would dig that, considering the popularity of Sanwa and Seimitsu smoke buttons.

Joe Biank

Just ordered some:)

cloud7a

I would like to try one in blue but I want to know is the shaft can be removed and instead have it get attached to the link ljf shaft that I'm using.

No the dragon stick wont work on the that shaft, it uses it own thread and shaft...for now:) I do plan on making them interchangeable but i have to coordinate it with ball top's i make as well. Not sure if i should mix the two yet.

Those look sweet! How big are the sanwa balltops? I'd be interested in a blue powder coated one if you could make one!

I think you really should so at least people have options and if you want to leave the threads the same on the bat you can make an adaptor for the threads for all kinda of sticks, and of course charge a small 5.00 amount per each one.

There 1 3/8" or 35 mm. I'll make a batch soon of a few colors including blue, sure thing:)

Oh, shiny.
I like. Are the same size as normal ball tops.

Absolutely love the slimmer bat-top. Would love even more if they were Seimitsu compatible and I could buy & use them!
