Tri ax is the shit #1 in my book. Smooth accurate shifts every time. Also a pro 5.0 base with a tri ax handle is a great combo. The damn pro 5.0 is really nice but an uncomfortable position.

I got the pro50 shifter with their new steel handle. They made a new handle that extends back like the tri-ax, but wont break like the aluminum

I felt the same way with the standard pro50 handle. I got the new one and it is a lot more comfortable.

With T5s I go with the Pro50. When it comes to Tremecs, then I would go with MGW any freakin day of the week [worship]

B&M Pro-Ripper & Tri-Ax are the best I've had. The Pro-Ripper has an adjustable handle & has two sets of springs (light & heavy). I installed the heavy springs. Nice & tight!
