Fanta Style Bat Top Material for Sanwa Sticks?

Tech Talk
1

So I had some time playing around with a fanta stick for a couple weeks and I love the feeling of the material they used for the Battop. Are there any bat tops being made with the same material that fit sanwa sticks. The material in the sanwa bat tops feel like garbage to me and I dont think i want an aluminum/metal one.

There already in the market Metal Bat tops for Japanese style joysticks, they will fit the JLF and Most Seimitsu joysticks.

You will want to look into a stronger spring, as the standard JLF spring will be too weak for the heavier ball top.

i don’t want a metal bat top though. I want one with the same material as the fanta korean sticks. if you get the chance to use a fanta stick. the material is like a hard plastic/rubber ish feel

Hard Plastic? Not from anyone I am aware of.
But I will look around

As far as I know, there are no hard-plastic bat-tops around that’ll fit a JLF.
If you really want one, I think your best bet is to have someone custom-make one for you?..

Just one Note, harder plastics are often more brittle.

if you have the skills, you could make a mold and pour one out of resins.
There also various 3D Printing tech, I think you can 3D print in Polycarbonate now.

You still need to find the right size bushing to allow your new Balltop to screw on.

Derlin is very hard, yet tough material .
Very comparable to aluminum .
