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.
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)
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🤔

I think you need to do a DIY wooden arcade stick for this ball.
Obligatory "wood" and "ball" jokes
he seems to never use shafts just playing with the ball

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

just crack your ball lmao
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

*he didn't get that fast by playing arcade games*
Love your videos! Hope you are doing well and thanks for all the great content 👍
I wonder if there is a Brook Fighter Bat (Bat-top)?
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.)
Crown/samducksa makes a wooden bat for like 5-10 bucks cheaper
I love the outro music.
I'm happy every time something plastic gets replaced by wood
*MODELS*
doing a wood ball is supringly easy to make if your handy on the tools
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

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

Nice Ball you got there
Wood & balls aways go well together
This gives an idea for a groot themed stick
I think it would suit a solid clean white one with no pattern it
Actually it looks like the ball from Minority Reports.
God sand that clear ball down! That would drive me insane. Lol
I feel finding some wooden buttons would go great with that stick

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.
"It doesn't look completely natural" It's the only completely natural part on there XD
A wood fight stick would be nice
looks fancy

oml. Those are not growth rings, that is face grain that has been sanded down on either face.
It looks like there should be a Golden Snitch in that box.
Last time i was this early
Rival schools was cool
Mine is made from cork

@@NihongoGamer Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate it
Laughs in keyboard savagery
ooo chocolate
WOOD COMES FROM TREES
'Oh man, my stick is really slim today'
Man LEGIT DID NOT USE THE BALLTOP THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO
Right wtf
I don't like logo on wood.
obviously cheaper than a mercedes gear shift knob, still more expensive than a used golfball 😅
I'm not ready to go green on my stick.
whats your favorite controller you'd would use on any fighting game , if you could only have one ?
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. 🤔
Paul W-Millar thanks
Did you forget your coffee your shaking like Michael j fox holding a baby
A "wood" ball huh??...
this video feels like an infomercial
Sweeet!
Trying hard to justify the paid video by putting the ball head on every stick. Could of cut away most of the videos.
good review! ill never buy this hipsterbullshit overpriced ball
Firts!!
