Ball tops or bat tops?
SammyWI:
I honestly had never used a bat top before I got into this hobby. In my day, they were all ball tops so I assumed I'd prefer that. Until I tried the bat top - now I prefer bat tops in general.
It would be pretty easy to swap back and forth if you can't decide.

well, not too easily im afraid. i currently have two bat top u360s, the regular ball tops dont fit on those shafts. if i would have purchased the balltop u360s, then i could have used an adapter for the bat tops.
i think i will just go with black bat tops for all the sticks and only color code the buttons. im just not sure about the balltops for full time use, and i dont want to spend twice as much for all sanwa buttons to match the balltop colors.

These bat tops are purple.

"I prefer bat tops. My problem is that I can't find anywhere that has a good selection of colored bat tops. Any suggestions guys? "
You can easily paint Bat tops with car spray paint giving you 1000's of color options, i have mine in a nice dark mettalic blue and are very durable, just make sure you prime, paint and then laquer and leave to harden do not rush into fitting them and using.

Ah, I didn't realize that you had a couple of the sticks already. Actually, I didn't know that the bat top U360s used a different stick and not just the adapter. Mine started as a ball top.
