Sanwa JLF Blue Spring (1.5, 1.5 Tension Load)

Write A Review

1. Best tension, imo.

   Having purchased all of the spring options, IMO for a stock JLF/JLX this is the best one if you like a heavier spring.
   
   2lbs while it may feel satisfying at first like you are operating some heavy piece of machinery, is fatiguing and noticeably slowed down my inputs. Granted I am a pretty big guy who has been weightlifting for many years, so for other people lighter might be better.
   
   But the takeaway is, for most people who like the feel of a heavier spring, you can probably stop here and don't need to go any higher.
   
   Granted, I have since switched back to the stock spring after installing the OTTO V1 pivot, as the pivot itself increases the perceived tension, and to me it feels like having a 1.5lb spring with the standard pivot. My girlfriend, who likes the reduced throw/engage of the OTTO V1 pivot, but doesn't like the increased tension wishes there were options for even lighter than stock springs.
   
   But unfortunately, the only people selling lighter than stock springs is paradise arcade. And while I am willing to spend hundreds of dollars modding our sticks, I refuse to pay $10 to ship a spring just on a principle alone. So if anyone from focus attack is reading this, and I know you are, please consider offering a 0.5lb spring. Unknown on Jan 13th 2024

2. A happy medium

   I recently restored an old ps3 hori fighting stick and decided to swamp out the stock spring since it was a little too loose for the bulletop i put on it. It worked great, not too stiff and not super loose. If you are playing tekken, this spring helps the shaft return to neutral much faster and you'll have less double or phantom inputs.
   
   I recommend trying all of them if you can but if you had to try two get and longer variations. The blue and red springs will feel as if you need to apply the same consistent amount of force to perform most movements in any direction. Unknown on Jan 8th 2024

3. Just Right!

   The 1.5/1.5 tension spring seems to be a good balance for those (like me) who don't like their joystick movement extremely loose, while not being as stiff as the 2lbs tension springs. Christian Curutchet on Jun 2nd 2023

4. Great upgrade from stock tension without having to break a wrist ?

   .5 really makes a difference compared to stock , no more double inputs in tekken , if you want more tension and dont know whats best just buy em all like i did . Turns out 1.5 / 1.5 ration is the best for me Juulz on May 13th 2023
