Slik Stik Stainless Steel Handles for T-Stick Plus
patrickl:
Doesn't that basically say they overprice the handles because they have a monopoly on these things? That agrees with the claim they are overpriced :P
Anyway, this only goes for companies which wish to extract the maximum of money out of their customers for the minimum off fuzz (like Slikstik and Happ controls). I guess that's the problem customers have with this idea. Other companies are more in it to help the community and get a reward for their efforts in return (like for instance Oscar, Ultimarc and Bob Roberts). A different focus which results in different levels customer happiness in the end.
More on-topic, I have 2 of these metal handles and I have to say the plastic balltops actually play better (quicker reactions), but the metal ones sure look cool.

In that case just find a machinist who can cut you some balls in aluminum and tap them to the same thread as Andy's shafts. Then find an anodizer who can color them for you. Would be cheaper than getting a machinist to cut entire single piece shaft and balls/bats, then anodize and have to re-machine the shaft section.

This was beyond Slik Stik's control. They hardly buy enough steel to control the steel prices. I don't think that they caused the steel shortage either.

Sorry, but I dont by the price increase wasn't beyond Slik Stik's control.. Given that the price of the Spinners Nobs and other SS stuff they sell hasnt gone up in price.
