For your 4-way the T-Stick is no longer being produced. They are being replaced by the Mag-Stick. The functionality is basically the same though. I have the old T-Sticks and they are great for 4-way operation. I would stay away from them for 8-way mode, the diagonals are much easier to hit than the cardinals. If price is a sticking point your other options are the Happ reunion and the GGG Prodigy. If money is no problem then get two Ultimarc U360 sticks or two GGG 49-way sticks when the come out and be done with it. |

I'm with Tiger-Heli on the short throw sticks. My personal favorite 4-way is the T-stik with the RandyT "put some washers in as spacers to lighten the spring up" mod. It keeps the really short throw of the T-stik, but lightens the spring considerably, to keep you from wearing yourself out playing on it. |

They are great 4-way sticks. Another option would be the Ultimarc J-Stick (made by Sanwa) - Slightly longer travel and lighter springs than the Prodigy/Reunion/or Mag sticks, but some people really liked them. |

Let me tell you what I like. I have two 8-way Supers. They are good. They work for me. Then I use a 4-way Reunion stick I got from Tornado Terry with the longer handle so I use with my 3/4" panel. The base of this Reunion looks exactly like a base of a Happ Super. The only diff is it is in a diamond style shape so it restricts diagnol presses. Works great. |
