Best JoyStick

Last week I finally purchased ICR2 and a Gravis professional joystick. So I'm new to both the game and using a joystick. I'm finding it very hard to control the car at high speeds. With this stick I'm always over correcting. Is there a much better joystick on the market, or is a wheel the only way to go? My son is also interested in the flight sims., so a joystick is really our best (only) solution. Thanks for any help, Joel Willstein

I did the same thing as you did except I bought the CH Flightstick Pro instead of the Gravis. I've never tried the Gravis Joystick but does it have a lot of travel? Joysticks with a lot of travel are very good for racing sims. Wheels are definitely not the only way to go. They are more comfortable and realistic but a good joystick will usually give you the same lap times as a wheel.
