What is your current Rope/Handle combo?

[JoeSkier6]

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?

I use a MasterLine rope with a Radar handle.

[JoeSkier6]

@Horton‌ what rope/handle are you using?

[Horton]

I use both InTwo and ML stuff. Seems best if I am not in survey

[JoeSkier6]

@Horton I understand.

[Chef23]

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.

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.

ML rope with US Gear handle. Going on 3rd year with the handle and it has zero wear on the bar.

Masterline with ARS handle.

[ski6jones]

InTow Spectra is the bomb.

[jipster43]

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!

Straight line knot less rope and 1.08 radius handle.

@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?

[GAJ0004]

1 old Straightline TLS radius handle attached to a Performance Pure rope from Performance Ski and Surf of Orlando. 3 Masterline 1.0'' x 13'' monsterbraid tournament handles each attached to their own Performance Pure slalom lines..

Straightline radius handle 1.08 and an Accurate rope.

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!

[BobS]

Brenda's handles and lines have stood-up great. Easy to customize and great variety. InTow Rocks.

[DmaxJC_ski]

masterline rope/ radar handle, my fat fingers posted the wrong vote.... Ya win some ya lose some I guess

[JoeSkier6]

Thank you for all the insight and data ballers. I will think a little more on it before making my purchases for next season. Keep the responses coming!

[Skoot1123]

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.

[thager]

Some handles are more prone to dinging your skis. Hard or protruding edges can cost you a lot of money.

[countymountie]

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.

[Stathis Ventouris]

Currently on ML rope and handle but have ordered an InTow rope (with extra loop between 35&38) and a spectra handle.

[MrJones]

Really like my in tow stuff!
