too lazy to hit the slickstick site to discover it for yourdelf Snaaake old boy? ;)
here, let me dave you a click or two, click one for instant answers http://www.slikstik.com/sscomp.htm  ;D

looks very SLICK, sexy even,  but I'm concerned that it might feel more like a surgical instrument of some kind rather than a nice comfy plastic ball (or bat)... it just seems a little "cold" somehow.

Snaaake: for the URL impaired, it's $25, and it looks like they're selling complete joysticks with the new handles, as well (might be time for me to pick up an Optical joystick!)

I see they went with four different models instead of one "universal" design. Probably better that way, I suspect.

I've got a set on the way (hopefully next week, right, Christian?) -- I'll post a review on my site once I've gotten them.

Christian,

Thanks for the compliments, but, egads, talk about laying it on a bit thick!  :o

Seriously, however, I'm looking forward to trying out the handles.

ditto on kev's reviews... I insist on more video w/narration (and some sort of witty song intro pun)!

Dancing...now there's an idea! ;)

I'm not sure what I could do for a video of Joystick handles...Kodo Drummers perhaps?

"In this demonstration, I will crack this oversized walnut with just one flick of the joystick handle..."

I know you didn't really ask for review suggestions, but nevertheless, here are my ideas:

1) some type of weight and throw test
2) maybe a time-lapse series 10 min playing, 20 min playing, 30 min playing...etc... to emulate those sweaty hams we all get. a slickness test
3) lots of dancing is good - maybe to some zydeco?  ;D  (i'm picturing that Charlie Chaplin bit with the potatoes from The Gold Rush)
