I was wondering if there is a longer and thicker control stick grip for the SS or a new control stick which is longer and has better grip.

Nope. CC advised me not to install anything longer. Added stick grips which are great.

I asked about this out at OSH after seeing the longer stick available in the newer CarbonCub models and was advised to not install a longer stick primarily due to concerns about excessive forces that can be generated from the longer stick and their impact on control surfaces I believe. Pretty disappointed. I wish it was a bit more comfortable flying longer trips than feeling like I'm leaning so far forward with my right shoulder also a bit turned.
I went down the same rabbit hole. Wonder if there would be a way to make it work and keep the same height/level force. I do feel that I have to lean over quite a bit in the SS.
Its not the control surfaces that are the issue with a longer stick.
Its the torque tube and related hardware below the seat.
The EX3/FX3 torque tube and hardware is significantly more robust, larger and stronger.
CubCrafters will not knowingly sell you an EX3 control stick to put on an EX2/SS.
