Thanks for sticking with this, Mark.
I don't think you got your sticks from us, but I have obviously seen a few similar complaints. Having never seen this type of thing before, I believed it to be a case of a new stick needing to be broken in. However, this appears not to be the case.
I will be contacting anyone who has purchased a HAPP 49-way from GGG in the last several months to make sure they haven't been experiencing this issue. Apparently they are not all like this, but if you have seen these issues with a 49-way purchased from GGG, please send me an email as well.
I have worked out a plan with the manufacturer to replace the grommets at no charge, but they will need the old ones to evaluate the problem, and to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Thank you for understanding that this was not our issue, but we will do what is needed to fix it for our customers.

Randy, Maybe you could offer replacement grommets for those with original Midway sticks so people with the originals could use your balltops. I think the grommet is the same size with the exception of the center hole diameter. Should be a drop in replacement. I know I would have bought a couple along with balltops before I changed over to williams sticks.

Randy,
I bought a pair from you last summer. I am not sure what the grommets look like or their purpose, but my sticks are still really stiff to use. Is this the same issue as listed above? If I don't use your software the sticks will drift and not center properly, but with the software everything centers.
Thanks

It is a drop-in replacement. I put a Wico grommet from Ponyboy in a Midway 49-way so I could use a Wico Ball-top shaft. It would have worked if the shaft weren't too short to activate the sliders. It would still work if I got a plastic sleeve long enough and used set screws like fl0yd's rotary adapter.
So Randy, I second that motion to offer Happ 49-way grommets for sale so that Midway 49-way owners can use your 49-way versa-ball shafts.

I have a pair of Midway 49s here that I'm not using, because I don't care for the bat handles. They sure would look awfully good with some GGG handles in them...

I love the GGG balltop replacements on my 49-way.
