Re: one control stick or two?

When I was a driver for my high school team, I spent the first two years driving with dual stick control, and liked it a lot. My 3rd and final year, though, we had to switch to single stick control because we needed the other stick to manipulate our arms (this was pre-IFI controller days). Initially I wasn't very happy about the change and I thought that 2 stick gave me more flexibility. However, once I got used to single stick control, it was just as easy to use. In fact, I ended up greatly preferring single stick over dual stick.

Going from dual stick to single stick is an awkward transition at first, but it's pretty easy to get comfortable with it. Also, while dual stick may feel like it has greater control to some, I can't think of anything in particular that you can do with dual stick that you cannot duplicate with single stick.
