Video of Oscar Up/Down spinner in action
jdjuggler:
So, your saying that you think there will be a difference regarding the "bouncyness" of the spinner with the DOT knob?
The reason I'm asking is because I was planning on purchasing the traditional knob for this spinner. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the easy (tacky) grip on the side of the traditional knobs...
Where, maybe, there's less vertical grip on a DOT spinner...
Thanks.

I think that, considering the design of the DOT knob, you'll be holding the knob differently, which should reduce any "bouncyness" when you spin.
I won't know for certain until I get the DOT knob, but that should be in a day or two. I'll post back with my findings.
I did discover that using the SlikStik skirted knob with the Oscar Up/Down spinner reduced the "bouncyness" effect.
I think it's all in the way you hold your knob... ;)
jdjuggler:
Well, I won't share how I hold my knob..... But, I will look forward to your reveiw on this topic with the DOT knob.
Thanks.

Just a quick follow-up: I got my DOT knob yesterday (Thanks, Kelsey!)
In a word: cool. Two words? Retro-Cool. It's a great knob, with wonderful "embedded knurling" -- a smooth surface until you grip, then your fingers find the knurling.
It's perfectly balanced, no wobble, nicely machined.
And yes, it does help prevent the "pull up/down when turning" effect with other knobs. It makes the up/down motion of the DOT spinner very easy to control.
I like it. A lot. ;D
