This link has a GREAT picture. You can see that the guy wrapped his stick in tennis tape, and then ziptied 2 sections of the spring on opposite sides. I did this as well and it helped a TON. I haven't wrapped the stick yet, though. The ziptie took out about 60% of the resistance. Basically, the stick is factory made to be a little too strong.
I did some more research and saw guys taking down the sensitivity about 11 clicks. Seems like a lot of people, as they move up in difficulty, start to really ratchet down on the settings
