Tightening Happ Competition Sticks
mgb:
It's probably not the best solution, but you could thicken up the actuator with some tape. I know this would more normally be done on a stick with a round actuator (albeit, still a sticky solution) but it should work on the comps square actuator if needed in a pinch.

I started thinking about this a few weeks ago after playing on some dedicated classic cabinets and noticing that I liked the tighter action of those sticks.
I think the tape solution could be a great fix. I'm also considering replacing the bat-top shafts on my Competitions with ball-tops. So, that would be a good time to try shortening the throw of my sticks as recommended.
Thanks for all of great ideas! You've been an excellent help!

Just remember when changing comp bats to balls, there are not many options.
Theres the versa-ball from GGG but they're more expensive than just changing over to a Sanwa or Seimitsu

Thanks for the heads-up.
If I were to change over to a Sanwa or Seimitsu, would the position of the mounting bolts be the same as a Competition? I'm not sure if there is a standard or anything when it comes to that.
mgb:
Yeah, the majority of sticks have the same mounting bolt pattern except for a few.
If you go with Sanwa, go for the JLW because it has the standard mounting pattern, where the JLF is smaller.
I believe some of the Seimitsus also have a smaller mounting pattern.
