I was blessed to be born with thunder thighs and longs legs. The agony 😭 but I am wondering if any one else has an idea to resolve this issue.
My current stick in the Pitts is 1" wide and with the grip its makes it a bit 1.5". I was wonder if they make a skinnier stick for the Pitts.

I thought about cutting the stick 3/4 of the way up and making an angle bar that comes back towards me. That way the yoke goes closer to my belly and then when I deflect left or right, I'm not hitting my knee caps and staying above my thighs.

Basically it would look like a Extra stick.
