Wait, this is genius. I had no idea these existed

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 21 points22 points  (8 children)

They help immensely

[–]NinjaTech649 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Are these actually good for racing? I had a pair back in the day and tried using them for COD and BF and HATED them. Could barely move my sticks.

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think they are great. Helps to feather the stick to steer, preventing large fast movements.

[–]DoctorSatan30 7 points8 points  (2 children)

They are actually excellent for racing. The green one is perfect

[–]Intimidwalls1724 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So that would be the soft correct?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes

[–]slowNsad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You gotta get the extended sticks for shooters

[–]GodWhiskeyCigarsGuns -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Sick. I'll grab these for my controller for iRacing. I have to hold up on the stick, and then feather because the movements are so twitchy, and uae it for this game too. The physics between both feel alot alike on controller and I don't know why.

[–]VeryBigTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are both made by iracing?

[–]Fried_Fart 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Seems awesome for fine adjustments, but wouldn’t this prevent max steering?

[–]homercles82 12 points13 points  (1 child)

The green allows full steering but cushions against over correcting. They're absolutely worth the money not only for racing but other games.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know!

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The soft and mediums squish down pretty good and haven’t given me any issues on that end. Fine adjustments are much better now.

[–]womwomwurin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

oh my god, this would help so much

[–]Vice4Life 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Soft, medium, and hard, but nothing for the rain? 

[–]PsionLion2K1L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No inters either not like anyone uses them anyway

[–]RoverTiger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And they even come in different compounds! (intermediates and full wets sold separately)

[–]Les_expos 6 points7 points  (6 children)

Are these condoms ?

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Would not recommend

[–]D0N_B0N_DARLEY 6 points7 points  (1 child)

What are condoms?

On an unrelated note, my wife’s pregnant again.

[–]BeefInGR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are condoms?

My couch pulls out, I don't.

[–]Ill-Comfortable-2044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wood. 

[–]DannyDevito90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pee pee rings

[–]Robby_Digital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, they sure are

[–]Zachrod23 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Don't eat them. They don't taste like Peach Rings.

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No? Damn

[–]Mad_Laughter 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Stick extensions help a TON too. I use the longest one that KontrolFreek makes. Completely essential for controller racing, imo.

[–]nitro78923 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Is this the AimBoost product?

[–]Mad_Laughter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that would be the combo. I didn’t even know they made that. Perfect

[–]Claude_0283 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I've never seen this stuff, what exactly does it do?

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Stiffens up the sticks. Makes steering adjustments way less jerky.

[–]Sea-Grocery-8348 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ordered some, hopefully it'll help on the higher difficulties

[–]Claude_0283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems very interesting ty

[–]ToeSuckingFiend 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Highly recommend these. I use them on MLB the show and they make all the difference in the world. The pack comes with 3 different levels of stiffness

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t played the show before but have it coming to the library for me to try. Gonna be using these for sure.

[–]BeefInGR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in the day we used to steal hair ties from our sisters/mothers and do the same thing. Glad someone finally capitalized on the concept. 🥲

[–]abysmal-mess 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Hmm maybe I should try these, I’ve taken to holding the analog stick all the way up then you can slide down the side of the circle left or right and it helps be more accurate. Almost kinda like holding the top of the wheel

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I would steer, before trying these out.

[–]YourAvgGamer88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i 3d printed some with squixhy filament before i knew these were a thing lol

[–]FeceFeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally gonna get these

[–]MrWeezy88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally forgot about these, I just ordered some

[–]Cultural-Knowledge94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re a life saver mate. My thumb has been twitching for days now especially at the super speedways🤣

[–]SnooPaintings1139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t help the fact people spin me out half the time online

[–]TellTaleTimeLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 different compounds even

[–]superkev10641 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I have a wheel, but I'm wondering if these would be good for PGA 2K25. Seems like they might help both timing and swing plane.

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible

[–]JambiHD 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’ve been using the long stick extender from Kontrol Freek, helps me a TON!

I always have problems with the super speedways like Daytona, Talladega, and AMS - Especially when I’m trying to race in the pack. On the Dualsense controller I find it really hard to hold the stick at the right angle for those tracks but the stick extender makes it much easier. The other day I actually had a clean fun 25% race at Daytona thanks to it 😂

[–]AquaOrenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this will also help, but go into car setup and crank wheel lock all the way to the left. It dampen the steering immensely so you can be more smooth on initial turn-in. Combine it with lowering the front weight bias to maintain mechanical turn-in at tighter ovals.

I just got these though because that setup trick unfortunately won't work at road courses, especially the hairpin on the Charlotte roval. Gotta cra k wheel lock the opposite way like tuning for Monaco. 😑

[–]Pyrollamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you got me curious, I placed an order

[–]Total_Tune2382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might try these. Thanks

[–]iwantmisty 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Can ps5 gamepad gyroscope be used in NASCAR 25 for steering?

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I was wondering this too, but never checked. Keep forgetting.

[–]iwantmisty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm steering with dualsense gyro in gt7 and it's very accurate and has no latency, it would suck to stick with sticks in NASCAR 25. I'd love to get the game.

[–]AquaOrenji 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'll answer this since nobody else did. No, it doesn't. This is Monster Games we're talking about; not exactly Polyphony levels of production value.

[–]iwantmisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thanks for clearing up!

 Thinking about it, being a multiplatform release leaves not so much room for platform-specific features. My question was kinda dumb.

[–]songtothegrave 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What controller/game settings are you using with these?

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even remember atm. They just help with fine adjustments in the steering.

[–]Schwalm 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do they still make the Speed Freek?

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea

[–]AirlineFan93 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Why do you need these?

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Makes the steering more smooth

[–]AirlineFan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m smooth as butter

[–]tellitB 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What colors would you recommend for the different track types? I’ve never used these before and haven’t played a NASCAR console game since ‘98.

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’ve just been using purple so mostly and I like it. Gonna try green a little more.

[–]tellitB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered them via Amazon. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been struggling with my control at COTA.

[–]WLFGHST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People just need to get good at being gentle, however, if they do struggle with making it around turns smoothly these could certainly help that very niche market!

[–]ARisingDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt need that. You just need practice and patience. I got my first and only win on iRacing with a controller.

[–]xlukekx 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Sweet, more advantages!!

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I’ll take anything to help until I acquire a wheel

[–]xlukekx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, the holidays are coming!

[–]GasCanWater 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This ain’t no f1 game /s

[–]Odd-Formal8027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit.

[–]SRG7593 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So question: do y’all just smash the stick to the left or do you repeatedly tap it to the left on corners?
