I received a well bent stick some months ago but was just today trying to get the infinity grip on. With the stick cut down to the length necessary to clear the instrument panel, the bend is just starting to enter the Infinity. After a couple of hours of trimming and fiddle-farting, I cannot get the grip to close around the stick. Anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions?
Which sticks bend better, old sticks or newer sticks?/QUOTE]
This subject sounds like it might deserve its own thread...
Just got my stick back from Mike a couple weeks ago (with fast turnaround). My stick is 13 years old and did end up with the creases, however, I don't view them as a big deal at all, almost unnoticeable when mounted, and a small compromise considering the new more comfortable stick geometry. In spite of the creases, the powdercoat remained undisturbed. Thanks, Mike!
Bird,He done mine a couple months ago, however he told me that it would be a favor to me because of the complaints of creases. It's the metal, not his teqnique or dies. I told him it didn't matter too me if it had creases, only then did he say he would do it.

Apparently not from "MCingari" mentioned above. I sent an email out and he replied saying he's not in that business any more.
Sure wish I could find someone who did this because it would make installing an Infinity or any other tall grip much easier with regard to panel clearance.
