I wanted to try the squash ball trick on my MSFF because I keep locking up the brakes so I bought a ball and cut it in half. Unfortunately the pedal was almost impossible to press due to the resistance of the ball . I've never played squash and don't know anything about the different grades of ball so could you please give me advice on a suitable ball to use before I waste another couple of quid. Thanks Andrew

for some reason your second paragraph made me laugh. I hope no one knows the different grades of balls... :) anyhow, I used one of those really soft air filled doggy chew balls and taped it to my brake with electrical tape to my LWFF. Different pedals, but I hope this helps.

I actually never even caught the innuendo, I just thought it would quite nerdy, if someone came on here and explained the difference between "squash balls from the 80's that you can get in some specialty stores, and the so called pro balls of today." Or something like that. No ball jokes were intended. :) A Thomas <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8laj1m$lj5$[email hidden]...

ok well looks like "Rod Prince" went on to confirm that there are different grade squash balls and that the have color dot classification. So sorry to Rod about the nerdy thing. :) Kai Fuller <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:A65e5.357892$[email hidden]... > I actually never even caught the innuendo, I just thought it would quite > nerdy, if someone came on here and explained the difference between"squash

Glad I'm not the only one that chuckled over this one.. ;) (but it was over the thought of considering the technical merits of different speed balls to best suit gaming pedals) Been awhile since I've played squash, what spot ball did you get? If I were to make a decision (and bare in mind that squash balls may have changed in the 6 years since I last played), I'd go for a double red spot. They're a faster ball and more 'rubbery', should give a little more than say a yellow or white spot. Cheers, Rod.

Cheers, Rod.
