Getting used to an arcade stick?

Without my MAS arcade sticks I could not function.

A must for Neo shmups and a few others.

I don't know what kind of gamepad you use and how you configure your buttons, but there's many ways to set it up so that you have a finger hovering over the panic bomb button. Personally i like [] autofire, X bomb, R1 special. My thumb is holding [] and hovering over X at all times.

How are the players in the superplays holding the stick?

Many players cup the ball with their hand palm up, as they would have a prostitute hold their nut bag as they received a hand doogie. I've seen people play fighting games this way. Looks so weird.
