JoeSkier6 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We have all seen the ads here on BOS and seen the product on the dock but which is staying in your bag for another season and why? It seems that InTow is making some what of a comeback after a little lull for a few years. MasterLine is for sure a tried and true product and I’m going to call it like I see it and say US Gear is out of the picture. I also don't think the ski company made ropes and handles are up to par. I like the whole made in the USA idea as well. What is the advantage of the InTow Spectra handle over the traditional poly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted October 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have a mix of stuff including Masterline, InTow and US Gear. I just bought a new rope and handle that I will put in play in the spring and it is all from Masterline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller scuppers Posted October 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2014 Other: even though he has customer service and delivery problems The US gear handles are still the best, and worth going through the hassle to get. His knotless ropes are the best too. I've tried them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jipster43 Posted October 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm currently using the US Gear handle with an In-Tow rope. I may be on a Masterline rope next season. I'm curious how the new Masterline radius handle feels. I'll probably find out in a couple of years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSkier6 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 @scotchipman @ski6jones I have read the link you provided. Essentially it is lighter, more durable and stronger? @sucppers Those sound like issues not everyone would want to deal with. @nate93 What is a rocky rope?

Baller skialex Posted October 5, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2014 I currently use Masterline handle and rope but when I'll find the chance to have somebody at the States I will ask to bring me an In Tow combo, I really like to have extra training loops between 32 and 35 and 38!

Baller Skoot1123 Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Masterline Rope and Radar Extend detachable handle. Like the Masterline rope, but would like to try the In-Tow rope next. I'll be getting a new one next year before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Some handles are more prone to dinging your skis. Hard or protruding edges can cost you a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countymountie Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Currently using ML .94 radius with a knotless ML. I loved the knotless intow until I left that at Jack's last year. It felt "lighter" than my ML. I was using a Radar extended with a triangle grip with my Radar Vices and had TONS of grip! Maybe it was skiing 4 sets a day at Coble's but my elbows hurt like hell. That's when I switched back to the ML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
