I've found that using a 6 dollar shaft from Shaff number 16R. Then = using a very hard super ball and epoxying it onto a 1/4 inch x 2 inch = long brass nipple available at the plumbing store. (Drill a suitable = hole in it with a hole saw or a sharpened steel tube.). Then use a 1/8 = x1/4 reducer and attach to the end of the shaft. I found that some = heads would bottom out or not fit properly. There must be a conflict = between brands that are threaded either too much or too little. So I = cut off about 1/4 inch of the shaft and chased the threads with a die. The slight give of the hard ball gives it a good feel. =20 I'm looking for just the right ball that is firm but has enough give to = protect the hand. I don't do much tuning but some have complained of = hand problems so this might help. I'll let you know if I find just the = right ball.
