shifter handle preference

My shift handle is barely 8 inches tall, so when I am gonna shift it,I really shift it. I got no time for those pokey synchros; Buh-Bam! When I hit the other side, I need that ball to be there, the same place it was last time. Or I'm going home with very sore knuckles.You only slip off the T-Handle once, to throw it away.
It is pretty though.............
