It's just soft plastic. --- End quote --- As you can see in this pic, below, the Hip Lip case top has a taller lip, due to a shorter case body. But the top their lips are the same height: The spacer that comes with the "High Lip" TB is used to make the Hip Lip act like a normal TB (height of top of case body of normal = height of case body of high lip + spacer). Doing as you discribe would result in a "only-a-little-higher ball" (but not even close to the real "High Ball"). ;) --- Quote ---As for the High Ball, I always thought I'd like one- more ball above the panel seems like it should be a good thing. Then I finally saw one installed on a game. Not only did it look wrong to my eye, but I did not like the feel of it. My hand would actually slip down the side of the ball to the panel, and get stuck there, instead of skating back and forth over the top of the ball like it does on a normal one. I suppose I could get used to it, but I don't think I will. --- End quote --- I don't like the High Ball because it's too high, also. Pretty much same reasons, but I'd describe my use differently (I was going to say I use it very differently, but after compairing yours and mine, they're actually basically the same). Another reason I find that the high ball comes off the rollers more easily than the high lip/normal TB. |
