Wood Ball Top for Arcade Stick｜Brook Fighter Ball

[@NihongoGamer]

Ok it’s been a few weeks now and I can say the ball top has been quite pleasant to use! It didn’t cause dead skin to build up in the engraved area and the wooden texture is smooth so it feels like wood but not raw wood if you get me. That said, I’m marginally OCD and so I kept fidgeting while playing to keep the “Brook” engraving perfectly horizontal so I’m back to my plastic ball top. Might switch back and forth occasionally :)

Dude i dont own a stick, i probably won't ever build one, i don't even think my choice would be a wooden ball even if i were to build one, and yet i'm here watching this video because your content is just really relaxing.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

I think you need to do a DIY wooden arcade stick for this ball.

[@Oscarmayer261]

I got this ball top about 4 to 5 weeks ago. I can say it's my favorite one yet. It has just the right amount of Friction and it does feel a bit lighter. (that part may just be in my mind). Only mod to the ball top iv been thinking about is filling the brook logo with a gold texture paint so it shows a bit more. After im done ill post it to the discord. (Editing for spelling)

I'm actually planning on turning a wood ball top for a school project pretty soon! Never tried turning wood before so wish me luck lol

[@olbaze]

One point that you kind of implied but never stated outright: The wooden ball top (and bat top, they have one of those as well), since it's a piece of wood, is truly one-of-a-kind. There will never be two that look exactly the same. Meanwhile, plastic ball tops and bat tops are completely identical, barring actual flaws in the item itself. For some people, such as myself, this can be a major appeal. I had the fortune to get some bat tops that cracked, and the cracks formed made them completely unique, which I loved.

[@poofsplix2003]

just crack your ball lmao

[@obchamp]

Love your videos! Hope you are doing well and thanks for all the great content 👍

The wood ball on the plastic sticks is like wearing a tuxedo jacket with sweatpants.

[@danielburnedead5909]

Obligatory "wood" and "ball" jokes

[@bland9876]

he seems to never use shafts just playing with the ball

[@DayXwolfXl]

The real question is how much noise does the wood cover generate when you pick it up and down? I have a habit of fiddling with mine and spinning it around and it's pretty quiet when it clacks the stick.

[@AmirhoseinHerandy]

I love the outro music.

[@CGoody564]

I grabbed that as well as a wooden bat top (bat top isn't from brooks though, it's from crown). They look pretty slick

[@Axzle_MC]

Great video man. Makes me wanna purchase a fight stick right now.

[@belojah2]

I've wanted one for a couple of years now but the price plus shipping puts me off. Also, I play battop (Brooks have done these in wood now too but hadn't for the longest time.)

[@CGoody564]

Crown/samducksa makes a wooden bat for like 5-10 bucks cheaper

[@codewithlawrenz7o]

I have the same Uniqlo Guile "Go home and be a family man" T-shirt and it's awesome! I wish they did more SF T-shirts! Brook makes great super adapters, but this rosewood ball top doesn't seem to "spark" joy.

[@RunehearthCL]

I'm happy every time something plastic gets replaced by wood

[@supercheesynachos1420]

*MODELS*

[@carlcouture1023]

"It doesn't look completely natural" It's the only completely natural part on there XD

[@NeinBreaker]

Looks neat. Wonder how long before we get wooden button plungers? Different wood for different colours, such as birch for light attacks... Maybe it’s a bad idea, but I’d give that a try.

[@jespinoza1421]

This gives an idea for a groot themed stick

[@AlexChipman]

Sounds like you need to design your stick artwork around the wood ball in order for it to make sense aesthetically. I plan to take a mayflash F500 and make it look like a NEO GEO goldie arcade cabinet. This stick should go along way to emulating the look of the wood panel sides.

[@Panster7]

Nice Ball you got there

[@jordydabomb]

doing a wood ball is supringly easy to make if your handy on the tools

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I wonder if there is a Brook Fighter Bat (Bat-top)?

[@Tatertot0621]

I feel finding some wooden buttons would go great with that stick

[@spragzpc1]

Wood & balls aways go well together

[@PKmuffdiver]

God sand that clear ball down! That would drive me insane. Lol

[@Yakobu90]

It looks like there should be a Golden Snitch in that box.

[@dknc7393]

Actually it looks like the ball from Minority Reports.

[@jek5045]

A wood fight stick would be nice

[@Ninzumecha]

I think it would suit a solid clean white one with no pattern it

[@RENhoekLOUD]

Adoro el hablar de los asiaticos (japan/china/korea) que hablan inglés

[@Soldano999]

Isn't rosewood trading forbidden ? I know because it's been a component of most guitars for years and they had to stop using it.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Have you checked out the Phreakmods Link EX Groove? It’s been out a while. It’s basically an updated version of the Link you have. But it has the dust cover attached and doesn’t have the gap between the release and the ball.

[@Cezkarma]

Looks fancy

[@ashtonphoenyx]

Hey just wondering, where'd you get your shafts from for your Victrix Pro? And are we able to replace our shafts for our victrix with any shafts or do they need to be specific? I'm trying to find on that still allows me to use the quick removal feature of the Victrix.

[@NihongoGamer]

I bought the “phreakmodz link” which is designed to fit the sanwa JLF which is the lever installed as standard on the Pro FS. You can fit other shafts as long as they are designed to fit the Sanwa JLF. There are other shafts for other brands like Seimistsu to choose the right one that fits.

[@ashtonphoenyx]

@@NihongoGamer Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate it

[@elstukov]

'Oh man, my stick is really slim today'

[@pocketoniofficial]

oml. Those are not growth rings, that is face grain that has been sanded down on either face.

[@Moayad56]

Man LEGIT DID NOT USE THE BALLTOP THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO

[@RetroPillowcase]

Right wtf

[@MichaelHarto]

I'm not ready to go green on my stick.

[@shiryonai]

ooo chocolate

[@Spinozin]

Mine is made from cork

[@realFUGAR]

obviously cheaper than a mercedes gear shift knob, still more expensive than a used golfball 😅

[@anthonyv.4935]

whats your favorite controller you'd would use on any fighting game , if you could only have one ?

[@viperx220racing3]

It’s got to be the Victrix Pro FS for sure. It’s so comfortable to play on. The ergonomics of the slop make it super easy on your wrists. It’s my daily driver for sure. 🤔

[@anthonyv.4935]

Paul W-Millar thanks

[@Random-yq1wu]

I don't like logo on wood.

[@its_tunezz]

A "wood" ball huh??...

[@unspacy110]

this video feels like an infomercial

[@briannemeth3296]

Sweeet!

[@greezymcfly8434]

Did you forget your coffee your shaking like Michael j fox holding a baby

[@gngan]

Trying hard to justify the paid video by putting the ball head on every stick. Could of cut away most of the videos.

[@kenseryew]

good review! ill never buy this hipsterbullshit overpriced ball

[@manueltoledo05]

Firts!!
