Which Spinner?

(1/4) > >>

MajorHavoc:
I'm getting ready to make my final major purchase for my soon to be built cab.  I have everything except a spinner.  I am torn between GGG's Turbo-twist2 (with the energy storage cylinder) and the Dream Authentics Tornado.  I would mostly be playing Tron, Tempest, Omega Race and Arkanoid.  What say you?

TIA

Mike

Visitor Q:
I have a push/ pull spinner from GGG that I like alot although if I had to do it again, I think I would get the one you are looking at from them. I don't find myself use the push/ pull feature much if at all.

one other thing to keep in mind is the set up after you plug it in.
I've just been wrestling for a week to get the Turbo Twist Hi-lo Spinner to work properly.(Same issue with the TT2) You need to up your mouse poll rate (which can be difficult depending on your OS) otherwise you get crazy backspin because the resolution is so ridiculously high (and unnecessary in my opinion, unless your building a dedicated Arkinoid cab, and I mean really do you need high resolution spinner for glorified Break-Out?)

Both the the Apache and the Ultimarc Spin-Track work without that hassle of changing the mouse polling rate
I don't have a Tornado so I don't know about that one But I'm pretty sure it's a standard resolution spinner, so you wouldn't have to mess with the poll rate

I'm not saying one is better than the other, they all have advantages and disadvantages
and all three vendors make quality products and have great customer service

Visitor Q:
Maybe it is just mean but the TT HL spinner seems to work ok with me, are you saying it is too responsive when moving it from left to righ?

Excuse my ignorance but I am not 100% sure what people mean when talking about back spin.

The reply is equally appropriate.
