The Link EX Groove by SRK's PhreakMods is an evolution of the much coveted JLF Link, a fantastic new 2-piece JLF shaft design; once installed, removing or attaching the protruding joystick shaft with balltop or battop is incredibly simple and hassle-free. The Link is ideal for the casual players looking to save some space, and for traveling tournament players who need to cram as much into their bags as possible.
The original Phreakmods JLF Link debuted in 2013, representing the first solution to a common problem - fitting the Fightstick in a backpack or messenger bag for easier transport. Its novel two-piece, spring and ball-bearing locking and release mechanism has since seen multiple iterations and variations by other manufacturers in the fighting game market, such as Sanwa Denshi and Crown/Samducksa. Designed for use with any ball top or bat top with an M6 (standard) threading such as Sanwa, Seimitsu, Crown, and KDiT, the Link EX Groove improves on its own standards with a thorough redesign and quality of life additions.
The EX Groove is compatible with the Sanwa JLF Series of Joysticks
The EX Groove comes in four of the most popular colors: Chrome/Silver, Black, Red and Teal Blue. Each are anodized over its lightweight aluminum body, and a protective tape surrounds each unit against scratching or nick damage.
I tried this on a Hori Hayabusa joystick and it works flawlessly. I like the idea of having your dust washer with the link, something that can’t be said about the first model.
Another thing I disliked about the first model is that you remove the link easily with a ball top, but it was proven rather difficult with a bat top. With the EX-Groove, you get an easy grip, no matter if it’s a ball top or a bat top. Would definitely recommend if you want to travel. Billy on Jul 19th 2020
