That's a 55". I only sit 10ft away, so it is big enough

I tried that **** and didn't like the feel of it. Got the Duracon one instead:

did you get the 240hz 3d? Also you'll love that **** better. Solid feel and doesn't burn your hand on hot days.

What do you mean 240Hz? Vibration? Yes, I have some noise now, but only noticeable with stereo off I need to replace my shifter bushings too though. I had this one in 100+ deg weather during the summer and had no issues. It doesn't really get hot or cold; sort of the idea of a non metal ****. I had a titanium **** before an on a 109deg day, I burned my hand. Got rid of it the same day.

So far I am really digging the Momo. I'm not completely sold on the Duracon. It just seems cheesy to me and not very heavy. Lots of people like those ***** a lot, I'm just not feeling it.

My biggest issue is the **** getting too cold. I have never had a problem with the **** being too hot. I had a Kartboy aluminum knuckle ball and that thing was like trying to shift with a block of ice.

what I really want is the leather STi ****...

But at ~$150 it's just too much.

For now the Momo is extremely nice. My next step is to get some shifter bushings and then maybe I'll start thinking about ***** again.

People comment on weight a lot, as in preferring a heavier one, but I don't really notice it. It is more the shape and feel while I am shifting, and the duracon one is the right feel for me. It does not get hot or cold, and that's another thing I like about it. Also not a fan of leather *****, because the leather gets beat up a bit too easily over time. I've owned a few nice Momos, both leather and suede.

I think that West Coast lathe works or something like that now offers one in a similar shape and it can be had in SST, titanium or Delrin, but when you start adding features, they aren't too cheap either.

I think you are referring to these guys: Welcome to WC Lathe Werks -- We Build Truly Unique Shift-*****. Proudly Hand-Crafted in The USA! - WC Lathe Werks | Truly Unique Shift-*****, Proudly Hand-Crafted in The USA!

I had the Momo Race Air Leather and after a while it felt like the two hemispheres were no longer firmly attached to each other so there was a little play in the top of the ****. I just got a Blox 490 and so far I like the weight and feel.

Oh man I would love a WC Lathe Werks Titanium shift **** with the blue/bronze burnt finish and the matching reverse lock out too.

I can't justify spending like $280 on them though.
