You can turn the black knob( what spring sits on) under the spring clockwise/ counterclockwise to adjust tension.

That's it!!! The thin black ring under the spring turns...totally forgot about that.

You have peaked my interest. However, I have been staring at this joystick for 20 minutes and I do not see this knob. I don't suppose you have a picture?

Are you sure it's the black part or the silver thing right under the stick that looks like a wheel that has groves to be turned. I never had this stick but that would be my guess.It looks like it was made to be turned really don't see anything at bottom.

The silver ring at the top of the spring, right under the grip is the locking ring. If you look closely at the very bottom of the spring, it's sitting on a solid black piece, that piece rotates to adjust spring tension.

Either I found what you guys are talking about and fixed it, or I just think I fixed it. Either way, I am aiming better now, so thanks everyone.  :)
