The most popular hand positions around most shift knobs are directly over (overhand style) - like grabbing a baseball, and trigger-style, which we call "short-throw" style. Our Glass Elegance shift knobs have been designed to feel "right" in either position. Let's start with the Overhand Style:
The overall flattened ball shape and carefully-sculpted flat areas near the base provide the perfect gripping areas for your fingertips. Have you ever found that perfectly-shaped rock that felt as if it could be thrown a mile? This is what a Glass Elegance shift knob feels like when grabbed from above.
Many driving enthusiasts, especially those who have lower height and short-throw shifters, prefer to hold their shift knob from the side with the index finger in a "ready to pull the trigger" position.
The steep contour of the Glass Elegance shifter front side allows for the ideal placement of your three lower fingers, while the slightly-flattened top surface provides the perfect resting place for your thumb.
Wide enough for top-shifting and contoured perfectly for speed-shifting, you won't find a better all-around design of shift knob anywhere.
