Default Best shift ****?

Curious to hear opinions on this and maybe pictures too. I am going to order an MTI Six shooter and want a new **** to go with it. considering the Delrin ****. I think that would be a super short setup b/c that ***** is an inch lower than the stock **** + the shifter is an inch lower too.

I have a retro Hurst T-Handle which I like a lot, the delrin **** is very comfortable, also have a Black "2 1/2" cue ball which feels good.

However, I just replaced the C5 Z06 shifter with a complete C6 Z06 shifter assembly with ****! I like it it best for the short throw and feel of the ****. However, you have to either cut and modify the boot or mordr a C6 boot!

I have a custom delrin **** that is about 5.5" long. It fits my hands better and it improves the shifting feel significantly.

Go to www.photobucket.com its simple and free. Or for a ton of storage + all kinds of extra's its like $25/year which is what I pay. You can easily post pics right into the threads and organize all your photos and can access them from any comp and if ever your computer goes to sh*t they are saved on photobuckets website...I could go on, but check it out. Just remember its super easy to sign up & use, and really cheap
