MikeyMcMuffin:

I need some advice on this. All acrades ive been to use a x-arcade style joystick so ive never used a ball top. I was wondinging if a ball top would be better though as my cabinet will be used mostly for fighting games and a lot of fightstick's use ball top.

Advice please?  ;)

As a fan of fighting games, I actually prefer oval/bat tops.  Plus I think they look more "sophisticated".   :)

But I can see the appeal of ball tops.  From what I've seen, I guess it comes down to grip preference.  I've seen people grab a ball top with the stick between the ring and middle fingers for fighters.  It would seem that balltops are better for that. 

postmortem:

I prefer the bat tops for fighters... I use balltops in my teenage mutant ninja turtles arcade and my pac-mania and they work great for those kind of games.. I wouldnt use one for a fighting game, but thats just my opinion

What ever feels better TO YOU is the correct answer.

I preferred bat tops for a while, but once I played with ball tops they became my new preference.
