Default no weighted shift *****????

I went to carlisle this year, and one thing I made a point to do was pick up nearly every kind of shift **** I could find to feel the weight... I currently have a hurst **** in the car, and while I love the shape... it has zero weight behind it! I like something a bit hefty...

Anyone have a **** with some oomph to it? Please post pics and say where you got it, I'm interested in changing it up!

Thanks
Ken

I have an MGW shifter and **** in mine. You can see it on their web site. I like the grippy feel of the ****, although it is probably no heavier than your Hurst ****. I also have a couple of other *****, but like the MGW best.
