Fun with anodizing joystick handles

i didn’t realize they were titanium shafts. what are the differences between the titanium and the stock shaft?

at first, i thought it was a stock shaft anodized for the aesthetics. if that was the case, then it would make more sense to do shaft covers than to do a whole shaft. with a jlf stick installed, unless you have a clear dust cover, there is less than an inch of viewable shaft.

i am interested though. could you PM price for a shaft done up in the burnt titanium look in the first post. also, if you are able to do jlf shaft covers with the same look PM me, as i’m more interested in those.

hey armi i have a question about the balltops did you have to mod them to get the light to show through. i already own a bubble top and if i could save some cash and not have to get another that be great

These are not lit, just the way the light hits the bubbles. If you are going to light a ball top when you order from me, just let me know and I can drill it out. If you already have one. The cheapest way is to just stick a drill in the threads so that you drill some space where the top of the stick will sit to allow for the led, if you want to be precise, you can grab a long .125 drill and use the hollow shaft to guide the drill to dead center.

The difference between the titanium shafts and the originals is just the material. Although butteroj seems to have gotten one with bad threads, which we are replacing. They should be identical in dimensions, but with a hollow shaft and made out of Ti.

When are you going to offer more colors for your custom bubble tops? I’d love to get a red one.

I’m kinda curious on pink…

Pink shafts or balls…lol.
We should have a line matching Ponyboy’s buttons by the end of March.
Hopefully pearls and translucents

Red like this?

Red like that. When are those going up? I’d order it within two minutes of release.

Haha both maybe? Moreso interested in a pink shaft though.

Capitalx, just need to get my &$%* together. They should go up in the next few days.

Francys, first purple now, pink? Pink is nice, I’ll give it a shot tomorrow.

Thanks. I was about to place a order for a Ti shaft and some buttons, but I’ll wait until the ball top goes up.

Haha yeah I’m curious because I don’t know if it’s the lighting or my eyes but the purple looks a little on the blue side X3

Any chance the red bubble balltops are going up over the weekend?

lol Francys. We have the same taste in ball-tops. Just when I’m lookin at that purple, I realized I got the other purple that you got last August. :slight_smile:

Red bubbles should be up on the site. Well, last time I checked they were.

Haha yeah, I love purple. Most of my sticks aside like,my Chun stick, have some sort of purple theme to it.

Found it last night and placed an order. Thanks.

Sorry guys, been really busy updating the site… Good link the red, all our ball tops are here:

Got my red paradise ball top and Ti shaft today. Awesome stuff. Thanks for the quick shipment.

I highly recommend purchasing through Paradise Arcade Shop myself. I bought one of his hollow Ti JLF shafts and custom blue bubble top and they are some of the best in my collection. They provide a good service and now that they carry seimitsu and sanwa buttons it’s hard not to appreciate the type of options Paradise Arcade Shop provides. Well done.
