Ok, maybe someone can help me out here. I use to LOVE my voodoo knob, with the feel/shape of it, but I can't use it anymore because I installed the axialflow SS, and with the countersunk voodoo it sits too low. Does anyone know of a shift knob that is like the voodoo, but not countersunk or possibly just a hair lower then stock? Thanks.

The TWM actually has adjustability for height, works really well too. The more I drive with the knob, the more I like it. I take back my earlier complaints.

Use the stock lock-nut (or any bolt) below your knob, that'll keep it sitting higher and adjustable to any height you want.
I'm gonna go put the voodoo back right now with the lock nut and try it out. Thanks. 
*EDIT* That idea didn't work. The voodoo knob sits too low, even with the lock nut at the lowest point, the thread on the knob doesn't catch because it starts to thread so high up in the knob. Oh well... I need to find another shift knob.

I also bought the Skunk2 and did not like it. Too heavy. I put it back in the box and use it as a paperweight, an expensive paperweight. Anybody try the titanium knob from Honda?

(Your mileage may vary.

I believe countersunk makes more of a difference than weighted
i replaced the stock knob with a voodoo knob in spun aluminum - it weighs less than the stock knob. The 2" dia. ball and recessed shaft is what makes the difference for me. The throw is a little shorter and hitting the gates much more positive - mis-shifts are a rarity. Best $35 bucks I'll ever spend on the car.

I own a twm shift knob also that i used to use on my MR2 (i sold it 
) but I love the feel and the weight, it just makes every shift fall into place with confidence. I kept it when I sold the 2 so it's definitely going in my S when I buy it.
