--- Quote from: lilrascal on September 16, 2011, 11:42:54 am ---My plan so far (but that seems to change on a daily basis) is to have two bat tops for 8 ways, then a single ball top for a dedicated 4 way. I was thinking of going with GGG's SmoothStick, which is a modified competition for the 8 ways. I was thinking either their True$ or Leaf Pro for a 4 way (once I hear back from them if the ball top is changeable to a black one). Unless of course someone once again changes my mind!! --- End quote --- My current plan is to have all the joysticks 4-8 switchable from ultimarc. I am not too concerned with color (either red or black is my preference), I just want the feel of the stick to be as true to the games as possible. I see Bad Dudes and Double Dragon both use ball tops, but Street Fighter and Battletoads both use bat tops. I am trying to find what the best compromise is going to be. So many decisions! |

I used to prefer bat tops, growing up with arcades in the 90's pretty much all games here in the US had bat tops. However, I have made the switch, I find ball tops more comfortable, there are more ways to hold the stick. On top of that most top SF players use ball tops, they use ball tops in Japan, in addition: Ball tops look better, IMHO, the shiny shafts look better than the dull plastic bats, and there are hundreds of different ball top colors and styles, makes it easier to match the sticks to buttons and your cab art. You can light up ball tops |

I like ball tops better, I just think they are better to play fighters and shmups. The different ball tops available are a bonus for me. Its all preference, their is no right or wrong. |

I couldnt decide in the beginning either. I bought bat tops, then decided I didnt like them and swapped the sticks out to balltops, which I liked much better. So.. if you have no strong pre-preference, I recommend ball tops. |
