RetroBlast review: Ultimarc T-Stik and T-Stik Plus!
NoOne=NBA=:
The pear top feels about right to me, mounted that way.
The short balltops are TOO short.
The long balltops are still a bit short for most people, but I like them that way.
They feel more like Crazy Climber sticks.
Overall, the bottom of the ball to CP measurement is about the same as a Wico leafswitch stick.
Here's a picture of the T-stik plusses mounted flush to the bottom with the long balltops, next to my Wico's which are routed in 3/8", or so.

The two middle sticks are the Wico 8-ways.
The two outer sticks are the both T-stik plusses.
Notice that the balls on the T-stiks are a little smaller than the Wico sticks, which makes the TOP of the sticks ; and the shafts are a bit smaller on the T-stiks, as well.

Well then, I guess that answers that dilema. I couldn't decide if I should use ball top or pear top. I guess I will be using pear top, which will save money as well since I don't need to buy the extra top.

Here's a pic of my 4 player CP. The two centre sticks are T-Stick Plus' and the outer 2 are regular T-Sticks. I already had the regular T-Sticks off my old 2 player CP so didn't see the point buying 2 new stick for player 3&4 just because I didn't need them to be switchable. The sticks were slightly different in height (the regular sticks are shorter) so I routed out the bottom of the CP more to bring the regular sticks up to the same height as the Plus'. The difference was about 5mm. Sorry about the crappy pic, it was taken with my mobile phone. I know the dust covers are supposed to be under the CP but they cover up my crappy trimming job on the black vinyl. :)

Wait, what :-\ ? I thought that is how they are supposed to be. I have seen cabs that have the covers on top (Neo-Geo comes to mind).
mr.Curmudgeon:
No. They are suppose to be on top. They wouldn't work that well as dust covers if they were below the CP.
