TSW Paddle Shifter Opinions

Because I am married to perhaps the most wonderful woman in the world, I have a TSW sitting in Iowa with my name on it waiting to be shipped. The only hold-up is for me to determine what, if any, options I would like on it. I am giving serious consideration to the basic paddle shifter add-on option and would like some opinions on it compared to on-wheel buttons, etc. For Nascar ovals, I could take them or leave them. The regular shifter will do. But, for ICR2 and (potentially) CPR, I believe they would be an asset on road courses. What do you think, TSW owners? Should I fork over the extra cash for the paddle shifters? Your opinions are appreciated. Happy Holidays, Jim Moore Soon-To-Be Proud TSW Owner

I have had my TSW for about a month now. I highly recommend the paddle shifters. They allow extremely quick shifting, especially on road courses. I have found myself using the paddle shifters even when I did not plan to (close calls with little time to react). Hope this helps.

I heartily recommend the paddles, and in fact go for the "larger" paddles. For no other reason than the ability to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. I *do* try to avoid using the paddles when racing cars that don't have them, but in most cases I use them anyway... :) -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA Already Proud TSW Owner

Defenatly go with the paddles, while I never use mine for N2, they are very helpful with other games such as CART. Good job choosing a TSW, you won't regret it. When you're reading on newsgroups, about other peoples wheels going bad, your TSW will still be working flawlessly. Gee can you tell I really like mine??? Pat Hendrix27 on NROS

Jim, Yes, but get theRich K. "t" paddles, they work better when you have the wheel cranked over!
