   This bar has a very noticeable wobble to it – you can push it about 3 inches forward, and 1 inch back, from its resting position. That may be fine if you’re just trying not to fall, but intermediate-to-higher-level play depends on your being able to turn your body against a bar that stays in place. This does not provide that.

   I thought I had maybe assembled it wrong, but the wobble is present in videos by testers.

   I am also 5’11” and found this bar to be a few inches too short. I do not have this problem on arcade DDR/PIU/ITG cabinets. You can pull the bar out of its housing slightly, but then the bar is even less stable, so the wobble gets even worse.

   I love the pads but I cannot recommend the bar system yet.

     We know about this issue (wobbling) and know where it comes from. Stainless steel parts at the sides of handlebar construction has too big holes for M4 screws.
     Everyone who noticed this issue can write us in this case. We will send correct parts that solving this issue.
     Next thing that pro gamers can do is to screw handlebar construction to plywood under. Handlebar construction has 8 holes at the bottom to do that.
     On rail itself is now engraved information of the position where it need to be mounted to have right level – we called it Arcade Level
