Springs come in a few different sizes and stock quantity seems to bounce around enough to justify not including immediate links. But that’s OK, I don’t feel bad about it. Springs add resistance to the shaft. Increasing the effort needed to reach the actuator, and, given there’s not too much weight on the stick, increases the speed returning to neutral. For this modding session I used the stock JLF spring, Sanwa 2lb, 4lb and a stretched 2lb to emulate a 3lb spring. I can attest to the added resistance mod of stretching a spring. It gave more resistance than 2 and less than 4. This mod, however, will not be consistent with your own standard if you were to adopt this. I think for experimentation it is perfect. Continuing on, I found the more of my hand/arm I used the better a 2lb and 3lb spring felt.

For example, putting a 2lb spring into the stock setup (no extension/plastic balltop) I found that controlled movement with mostly fingers and some slight wrist movement slowed me down. Using my hand and forearm though, the added resistance made the stick more responsive. Personally, I hated it, but I typed that out in case you like the grip that the default layout provides but wish for more feedback in the stick.

5.1 Concerning the 4lb Spring
When using this thing, regardless of the combination, it nearly moved my arcade stick. When using my forearm and wrist to play the weight was quite manageable, but to get the motion takes enough weight to move my solidly built stick. Even slowly moving the shaft, the spring will take everything else with it.

5.2 Concerning Recommendations
I will go into further detail in the combinations chapter, but my basic conclusion is that heavier springs help with aluminum tops and extended shafts considering you use your arm to play. Slight, quick movements with the fingers I found to be better handled with less resistance by the spring and shaft.

In regard to the 4lb spring, this sucker is tough. I recommend it to those that have a really heavy sticks only. A light stick, probably one that isn’t attached to a table or cabinet, will shake around. If you have an extended shaft, aluminum top and this spring on a cabinet it might be freaking ideal for your massive hands banging out combos.
