Anyone recess their joysticks for ergonomics/comfort?

GaryMcT:

My U360's are slightly below normal height from routing and bottom mounting.  I'm tempted to recess them more so they'll feel more like the height of a Defender or Pac-Man stick.  Does anyone else do this for their general purpose sticks?


Ginsu Victim:

Man, you'd hate mine. I have 3/4" wood with no routing and I love my U360s the height they're at.

GaryMcT:

Are yours flush at the top of the wood then?

Xiaou2:

This may be due to the way you are holding the stick itself.

 Most people play the classics (balltops) with a more angled wrist...
while the fighters (Bats) are generally played with the wrists being vertical.


Jack Burton:

this thread is confusing to me?

Which direction are we talking?  Joystick shaft feels taller or shorter?

I play SF so I have to have my joystick at a regulation height or I will be at a disadvantage when I need to use somebody else's joystick.

For IL competition sticks I like them in 5/8 to 3/4" wood with the double spacer.  

For Japanese style sticks I want the joystick shaft to have exactly 23mm between the surface of the CP and the bottom of the ball top.  

Anything else just feels off to me.  I play SF with a variety of hand holds depending on the character, but I've taken to using the wine glass hold more often now.
