Default what's everyone doing for the *****??

Posts on clutch combo's and about shifter preference but what is everyone using for the ****.. Cuz at the end of the day that IS what your most in contact with...

Personally the stock z06 **** sucks and doesn't feel right ever.. Tried the delrin ***** shaped one as well and was good but still a little odd...


So what **** you using and do you hold it like a joystick or palm on top style?

Thanks

I have the SLP leather shift **** on a B&M Ripper... but im gonna switch to the pro 5.0. The leather shifter is very comfortable tho and looks better than hurst's round **** IMO.

I just got a Delrin ****, I like it but I find myself still trying to hold it like a Hurst **** sometimes...so I think I might put the Hurst back on.

I switch back and forth sometimes from the stock Hurst **** to a black Hurst pistol grip. The pistol grip looks kinda goofy but it fits my hand so perfectly that it makes up for the looks.

I have a B&M t-handle. Nice performance handle, gets comfortable after a while, i'm just looking for a leather one now because the metal gets too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. It really just comes down to personal preference.

I've looked for this ball. I guess they do not sell them or rather make them anymore??
Did you get it from Thunder?
