So you like how it feels? Does it slip at all?

I've got the white Hurst. Doesn't slip at all, feels good in hand and doesnt get hot or cold as I've heard of MBA aluminum does. As retro as it is, It's timeless. I think the C6 **** will fade, I drive with it in a C6 and it's OK. Of the ones you listed I like the Leather D&D Performance!

For those who can't see the images

Satin D&D Performance


Leather D&D Performance


I voted for the satin D&D

My car came with the leather Hurst "H" **** and I never really liked the feel of it, I also tried a Hurst que ball **** and it felt huge in my hand. I finally settled on a 2" satin MBA **** but am tempted as all hell to try out the satin D&D. For only $29 that thing looks to be a great deal.

The images work sometimes for me sometimes they don't ... if you reload the page they work ..weird.. but yea i have a H **** already and really like the feel. Thats why i can't decide if i would like a non leather one. The leather D&D does look like the cobra ****..

I have used both the 03 Cobra style (what would be the d&d leather) and the stock hurst leather one and liked both. They felt pretty much the same so it comes down more to looks than usability. I like the looks of the 03 cobra **** more myself.

I have the Hurst H but always wonder how the Hurst white ball w/ pattern would feel. Not to mention it looks awesome.

Satin D&D looks good. It looks like the ws6store ball. I like it until it is cold out side then your hand gets frozen to the shifter ball. IMO the corvette **** look ugly.

I really really like how mine feels. Don't have any complaints. Also if I remember correctly there are two different sizes to choose from and mine is the smaller one. I like! Also I have never thought to myself wow this thing is really cold or hot. I don't think its bad at all.
