no real difference.

if you have shorter arms, i suggest buying one with a slight bend in it...Lou's short stick has it....to keep the **** closer to you.

its ok. I do wish it was slightly curved like the Lou's one. But the one from WS6 store is only $25. If you have shorter arms, it might be a pain.

I don't really get the big deal with the curved sticks. I got my 6" short stick from WS6 store and it feels just fine to me.

WS6 Short Stick with my Hurst Shifter works very well for me.

i just got my ws6 one. I think a curve in the stick would be nice but not needed. The only thing i noticed is the stick doesnt sit in the center of the boot anymore, its off sets to the right.

Lou's Short Stick on my Hurst Billet plus and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Angles back and towards the driver.

It is angled towards the driver, we find it extremely comfortable

I also have lou's ss with factory hurst. The angle can either be facing towards the ac **** or towards the driver. I have it towards the driver because I bust my knuckles if it faces the ac ****. It shortens the throws because the rubber isolator isn't there anymore. It also is perfect height for the arm on the center console with hand resting on the **** making the shifts with a flip of the wrist.
