Any way to pimp out a Happ Bat Stick?
(1/4) > >>
JHFerry:
I know there was a chrome stick out there, I think it was called dragon stick or something.  Cant find it anymore.  How about LED?  Is there anyone that makes an LED bat to fit a competition?

I am about to put my 2 used GGG chrome ball top joy bats & 1 blue LED ball top on ebay or the BST section soon. PM me if you are interested.

Anyway if you order from the first link be sure to ask if the item you want is in stock before putting up your money. You may get strung along for a month or two... Those peartops joys are worth the extra dough in case you wondered. GGG on the other hand has always dependable over the years.

PS Dragon stick has been gone for I think at least a year now.

Interesting this comes up. I actually have two of the sticks from what was SlikStik (joys at least), now Retro Arcades. I have the stainless bat top, which is heavy as hell and very smooth, requires the stiffer spring and also a brushed alum ball top that I can switch out as needed. Very light, shortens your throw. Both are great and the company is quite responsive. You can't go wrong with RA or GGG, Randy also has a great shop and products.

Just wanted to add something else.  We also have some mirror polished and treated aluminum balls tops for the replacement shafts.  These may not hold up as well as the stainless over the years, but they are much lighter.  Some folks have opted for a heavier spring with the stainless balls, but that wouldn't be necessary with the aluminum.

I also have some anodized aluminum shafts for the HAPP and IL sticks in Natural, Black, Red and Blue.  I'll try to get these up in the next couple of days.

ooo... I might actually be interested in that. 

The thing that shyed me away from the metal sticks has always been the weight.
