I picked my Joust sticks really carefully.

They both had a little wear on the pivot, but I could tighten them up with some mylar tape, and the restrictor parts were in pretty good shape.

The pivot on them wears to an oval shape, which lets the stick slop all over the place, and the restrictor wears down, so that the stick travels too far up and down.

I'll say. I have a real Defender stick and it has the same movement pattern as an 8-way does now!

I'm so used to that sloppy feel I probably wouldn't like a nice new Defender joy.   ;)

I got my Joust sticks for about $10 each.
They will last me forever, I'm guessing.
