These look very nice. I'll bet that they make the joystick action a fair bit quicker, too. Basically the center of gravity of the handle has been moved higher on the shaft so it is further from the fulcrum point resulting in a more unstable system. Note that I'm using the term "unstable" purely as a common term used to describe a mechanical system, and NOT in a derogatory sense. In this case, a more unstable system should result in faster play of the stick, as I speculate. One of the reasons I put the balltops on my P360's is because my hands would occasionally slip on the stock bat handles during heated Robotron fests. I would be curious to find out if these SS handles would keep their grip better than the textured plastic ones. The design is very well done. Knowing what is involved in this process, I can appreciate the effort made to make them compatible with the various styles of joystick bases. Just that alone will help make them a good seller. Good luck with them! ##EDIT## I forgot about the sleeves... I would look into a plastic sleeve. SS and other steel alloys are susceptible to galling when in direct contact with other tight toleranced metal parts. This can cause them to sieze together. An example is the old Wico sticks and how they would sieze to the metal sleeve in the grommet. |

How about making some leather/rubber handles for them, as an add-on for people that wish that kinda stuff? That way you would have a heavy solid stick with awesome grip on it, so it don't slide outta your hand! Would be awesome I reckon!!! |

nice scientific explanation oscar... as for the 25-50% statement that's just the nature of advertisement...how many products make similar statements, in reallity there is no realistic way to prove this. however if you read oscar's post I can deffinately see how the weight alone could improve functionality...25-50% though an exageration is a good catch line that is used to to peak interest in an aspect that there is no realistic way of testing. I still say kudos to christian...these look fantastic. clear buttons...now these would be fantastic...all the colors of the rainbow...predrilled to mount an LED |
