Title: Where to find bat tops?
Post by: Ummon on September 06, 2009, 02:32:07 pm

I want to put purple bat tops on my U360s. Since this is essentially a Sanwa stick, I looked over at Lizard Lick, but no purple. I thought Ultimarc used to have some bat tops, but nothing over there.  Anyone know where, in the states if possible, I can get some?

arcadeshop.de has the stuff. They also have the adapter rings as battops are made for wider shafts than the U360's.

I just went to arcadeshop.de and except for wico or wico knock-off tops, they don't have any kind of stick tops......ohhhh, from the main page you have to go to made in japan>sanwa joysticks. But they only have four colors, and no purple.

I couldn't see any purple either. Maybe you could buy the white and paint/dye it?

Hmmmm.......I spose so. Hadn't really thought o that, and haven't seen any up-close-an-personal examples of balltops being done, so......

The main thing is that I find playing 8-way games uncomfortable after a little while with ball tops. Bats are much better, but the bats I'm used to are extra large, P360s, and was wondering whether this smaller type of bat would be okay. But ah wan pu-ple!
