You do some NICE work Sir  :salute
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Oh sure, either hand.  As you can see, this one is right handed.

That's a 5/8" segment cut out just above the pinky button.  Your three fingers fit nicely in the space behind the stick.  Your thumb rests right on the coolie hat so it's very comfortable to reach.

I did this one for a guy who thought he wanted it then changed his mind without ever trying it.  That's why I have this one.

Thanks for the kind complements fellas.

This isn't about the pictured grip mod, but just as an idea, I personally hate the position and shape of the bulge on the left side of the stick for the side button.  It's too low for my thumb so there's a huge amount of travel going from the buttons on the upper back of the stick to that side button (on my combatstick that single button is my machine-gun-only button), and the shape of the bulge annoys me because it blocks the natural curving-around of my middle finger around the grip.  Combine moving that side-button bulge up a half inch with maybe a 1/4" chop like that pictured (except 1/4" instead of 5/8") I think it would greatly improve the ergonomics of that stick.

Small sticks = small.... well you get the picture.

Real men use full size sticks...  :D

Seriously that doesn't look bad there Homeboy. Nice fit and clean cuts from the look of it. Keep up the good work for the CH fanboi's.
