Like jolly ranchers?  Jolly Ranchers are the shizzle.  Tweens put them in Zima or somethin.  I also like that candy that's just sugar crystalized on a stick with some food coloring, we used to call it crystal or crack but you can't do that anymore for some reason.

I think I am going to get the emerald gemstone balltop.  I got the bubble green one from Paradise and I wouldn't exactly call it green.  It is more like the color of Mellow Yellow.  Not happy with it.

Do they even make Zima anymore?  I haven't had or seen one in 14 years.

According to wikipedia:

"Its domestic production ceased in October 2008, but it is still produced and marketed in Japan."

Go figure...   :dizzy:

Zima Gold was the worst.  When I was a teenager, I got a 6-pack of it by swapping the bottles into an IBC cream soda carton.  :D

Of course, in the Caribbean from about 16 on I'd get $9 of gas, a $1 Heineken, have them crack it open at the register, and wave to the cop who was selling weed on the corner as I got behind the wheel.

What do you like about the HandCandy?  Is it the style, feel, etc?  Which one(s) did you get?

I am having a hard time deciding between HandCandy and the Seimitsu Bubble Tops... the handcandy gemstones look amazing, but so does the violet bubble tops, plus its cheaper.  Haven't had a chance to see any of them in person to compare.

I've been on the fence with the hand-candy/versaball-2.  What I really want it some blue bats for my 2 comps and 1 super...

So, what shafts/sticks are you using?

How durable to they feel (the shafts...I have 3 kids trying to kill me...I can't wait to see what they do to my cab.  :dizzy:)

I bought a grey Seimitsu Bubble top and found it average quality.
HandCandy is the only balltop I've found that doesn't have that little mark on the top where it was molded.
Even after polishing it level, it still drives me nuts.



I got the Slate Hand Candy.  The finish is a little duller looking than expected (they look shinier in the pics),
but the description does say slate, not gloss black.  They feel perfect.

I'd like to have a big 45mm version, but I know there's probably not enough demand to justify it.

I rock classic red handcandy tops on Darkade.  The are the tits.  Super durable, great color and perfectly smooth without mold marks.  I won't be using another brand any time soon and look forward to trying some out that I can illuminate in future builds.

It's like the icecream truck in the ghetto, you have to know what to order.  Then you can get whatever you want.

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, man, in the real ghetto, you don't even have to go looking for the ice cream man... I don't even live in "the ghetto" and there's a bodega not two blocks from my apartment that sells green in plain view. The cops don't care.

That place makes a damn good bacon/egg/cheese on a roll, too...

As they shouldn't.  I've been praying for years to get called for jury duty on a victimless crime like that.  I'd nullify it so fast your head would spin.   :P

Yo, I'm just talking about green joystick ball tops... that's all.   :laugh2:

Err, no.  He meant our "Hand Candy" Balltops.  If you try to bite down on these, you'll need some extensive dental work.

But I can definitely understand why it's hard to use anything else once you've held these in your hand.  It's all according to plan. >:D

Randy's plan for world domination, Step 1: Have thousands of people from around the world touching, grabbing and holding his balls every day...and liking it.

I don't want to know step 2....  :scared

lol..I honestly thought they were called hard candy. Time to get the old eyes checked.

I tried 2 of the arcade red tops with one set of the Zippy joys I ordered last time.
The difference between the stock tops and the hand candy tops is huge. Much nicer looking and they feel as smooth as glass.
