What do you prefer Ball or Bat Controller Tops?

Jack Burton:
Ball top all the way.  Fighters included.  In fact, most of the competitive fighting game community prefers Sana JLF joysticks with balltops.

Yup.  I like ball-top for most classic games but bat-tops for fighters.

Agreed.  I think it has to do with what the original game had when you played it.  I can't imagine playing Ms. Pac-man with a bat top.  On the other hand, the Mortal Kombat series originally had bad tops so again, it would feel weird playing with a ball top.

However, if I was forced to choose one or the other.  I would probably go with ball top and get used to it for MK games.   :-\

I unscrewed  the tops and threw them away.  Games are only a real challenge if you're playing with the metal shaft on its own.

Turnarcades:
Bats have a larger surface and feel sturdier to bash around, but I don't like the outward tapering towards the top. On the other side of the coin, Ball-tops have something to easily grip but I don't like them with a thin shaft as they feel flimsy. This is why I always like the Suzo 500's - Balltop but with an all-in-one shaft that is thicker with a short throw. They have such a sturdy feel but yet are comfortable for prolonged use.

Visitor Q:
Pretty sure I am going to roll with two bat tops for player 1 and 2 (U360s), 4 way dedicated ball top.
