I need a house to put stuff in, instead of an apartment with stacks of boxes.

Green is uncommon. That gold is sweet, too. Come to think of it, the right arc is almost christmas-y.


...purple!

Indeed.

Just what I was thinking....

These fit all 6mm threaded tops, so they will work on the long shaft Zippyy's

It is possible to do a yellow anodizing? And would these fit the U-360 by chance?

The threading on these is 6mm, so if you have the ball top U-360, these should fit.

Yellow will almost definitely be happening.

I have bat top U-360's. Are they a different diameter shaft? And good to know that yellow might be available at some point. I would need one red, one blue, one green, and one yellow top to match my buttons.  ;D

Stanard JLW Bat tops are 10mm.  Unfortunately, outside our RGB shafts, these are the only sticks with 10mm threading.

Thx for the info Bryan. If/when the yellow bat tops come out, I will hv to see if Andy might work with me to exchange for the ball top shafts.

Our vendor tripled prices... so we are working on finding a new source.  We have one potential who is sending samples, and we will let you guys know as soon as we know!

Gunmetal would look great.  If the threading were different, I'd buy 2 for my shifters in my cars!  These look awesome.

I would love to see some handles that fit the Happ Super.

Thx for the update Bryan. I'll keep my eyes peeled for those. I see that there might be 6mm and 10mm options now. I need red, blue, yellow, and green battops for 10mm U-360 shafts. Will that be doable? Or will I still need to try to get my hands on the 6mm shafts?

Those look awesome. Is the finish a little more "matte" than the originals? They don't look quite as shiny as the ones in the first post. And will they be offered in both 6mm and 10mm varieties to fit both size shafts?

These are all available, and its reall coincidental that you bumped the thread, we just ordered a set of skinny bats

Ooooo.  I just looked at these on the website...  you have matching shaft covers and dust washers.  Bookmarking this for my order next month.

I didn't see red, blue, green, and yellow in the finish that you showed in the pic above with the 10 different colored handles. Are these the "skinny bats" you're referring too? I do like the original anodized aluminum bats that you started this thread with. But unfortunately, there's no yellow option.  :(
