Looks great! The loop needs to be bigger to allow the option of running the handle through it if your at a tournament and the ropes have the smaller loops. I ran into this a month ago and fortunately my handle had the larger loop.

 

I love the anti-roll of this design and the elimination of mid-grabs, but I also love the protection it offers skis. I have tagged my ski with the handle three times this week and there's nary a mark to be seen.

miss-grabs!

Mine will be delivered in a few days. Randy did a great job, sent me this pic as well. I will post pics when it arrives.

Looks great. What is the function of the offsets at the beginning of the V?

[Texas6]

Is this a partnership or some sort of licensing agreement between ML and US Gear or is this one all ML? Looks great regardless

[MZito]

This is all ML as far as I know. Randy built it himself. He said this is still considered a prototype.

When I was there a couple of weeks ago they were also making them as barefoot handles.

@mzito I assume you mean Randy at Masterline NOT Randy at US Gear

 

@Texas6 I do not have first hand knowledge of any recent dealing between US Gear and Masterline but I would bet a case of Kilo Kai that US Gear is not in a joint venture with Masterline

@Horton‌ yes you are correct Randy from ML. He was great to work with and provided excellent customer service!! They have my business from here on out!

New ML Handle arrived yesterday. Craftsmanship looks perfect. Handle feels solid and really grippy. Cant wait to give it a go this weekend! My 5yr old had a blast "skiing around buoys" in the house...lol

 

Thanks @mlusa‌ & Randy (ML) nice job!! B)

What are they charging for these @mzito?

[davemac]

...and is the loop big enough to pass the handle thru?

[MZito]

@davemac‌ made a short video of attaching the handle to a ML main line.

 

[MZito]

@rockdog‌ please contact Randy at ML for pricing as these are still prototyped according to him.

All of the Masterline slalom lines have large 15" loops to make handle changing easier. It's much better to build a large loop on the rope to accommodate all of the different handle configurations. Loop on the handle section is standard, but is easily attached to our ropes. Just put the large loop through the small loop on handle and then put handle through the big loop. I see many dock starters attaching the handle the wrong way and fighting to get the handle through the little loop and not utilizing the large loop of the rope.

 

We are now set up to do almost the entire process in our factory. We can customize these handles any way you would like. We don't have them on our website yet, but you can call us to order you customized handle. We will also have a few samples to display at Nationals and can fill orders as soon as we are back home from Nationals.

These handle look great. I want one.

[tjm]

Will these handles come in various diameters?

[Horton]

@tjm I am 99% sure the answer is yes

Randy at ML told me just the 1.00 for now. But, he told me that three weeks ago. I am sure they will announce it when they are ready for additional options. That's what I am waiting for.
