http://www.apachecontrols.com/products.html = the best IMHO

I've had 2 GGG, 2 Tornado, 1 ultimarc & 1 apache so although this is just my opinion its important to know I've played em all

Some talk about the Apache's "low resolution" but I compare that to buying a 1080p tv just to display 600*800 resolutions.... it doesnt make sense.

I still buy stuff from Andy/Randy @ GGG/Ultimarc, they are good guys but now that I've held an Apache in my hands all other spinners feel how shall I say this..... "almost".

Ultimarc knobs & GGG knobs ARE NOT interchangable.

Here is my #2 choice although it is not a push/pull spinner: http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement/gameparts/201314.htm

Just my $0.02, I am not the authority on spinners  ;D

I play racing games & Arkonoid with my Apache all the time.

We shall just agree to disagree, I dont want you to ignore my future orders  ;D

You never mentioned why you thought the Apache was the best.

Does it have to do with the "feel" of the spinner?

The only third party spinner I have an original Tornado gathering dust. (All the other spinners I have are original arcade spinners from Arkanoid, Tempest, Star Trek, & a couple of Midways from unknown games).

Yes, thats exactly it. I like the heft, up/down throw distance, feel, spin & above all the knob.

This is interesting... I'd never thought about what the analog sensitivity setting actually meant.  As a recent TurboTwist 2 customer, do you have a list of recommended MAME settings for spinner games?
