So I have an Imperial trackball on my Golden Tee '99 which does work well and has just been cleaned. I also recently played 18 holes on Jeremy's GT Fore! 2005. His has a HAPP trackball in it and I couldnt believe the difference. His rolls so much better, perhaps too good. I could just barely tap the trackball and would just about overshoot every putt.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed a difference in the models, and if there's any general preference.
 
Happ trackballs definitely roll a lot better.

There is also a high resolution encoder wheel you can get (possibly used to be able to get) for the Imperial trackballs that really helps them out. The Imperial trackball in my mame cabinet has those. One of the mame vendors used to sell them. Maybe they still do.

EDIT.

It was groovygamegear.com that sold the upgraded encoder wheels. I don't see them on their website anymore though, it might be worth asking about.
