Baller_ Rednucleus Posted March 14, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted March 14, 2019 That's like asking what's the best scotch! Try a bunch and see what appeals to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller mbabiash Posted March 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 14, 2019 For me. The best handle would be the masterline ergo anti roll handle if it came in larger diameter. I really like 1.06-1.09ish but it only comes in 1 inch and it’s not kind on my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Jibbo Posted March 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 14, 2019 I just switched to a InTow Spectra line handle with protective tubing and really love it. The protective tubing is a softer material than other suppliers which I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skihacker Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 Masterline's biggest handle (1.183), it seems to be the best for my elbows, not available ergo or anti roll, I rotate between a bent and a straight, and use home made arm guards.

Baller lazzn Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've never been let down by a masterline, but last season I got one of the HO syndicate handles and it was awesome! I got the .940 diameter because I am a finger gripper and that really works for me. But it very much is a personal preference thing. Highly recommend trying out some different sizes if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 Masterline ERGO for sure, along with their new Optimized Rope !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dave2ball Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 @scotchipman masterline does make spectra bridles. You just have to ask. Intow uses uncharted spectra which will wear prematurely. By coating the spectra it gives the rope better life and will not Frey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller igkya Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 In Tow (Spectra). All her handles are custom made. You ask for it and Brenda delivers. I have no idea what @dave2ball is referencing with 'uncharted spectra' but I've got well over 300 days skiing on her handle the last 3 years and barely any wear.

Baller ski6jones Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've been using InTow Spectra for about 8 years now. Never had the Spectra fray or wear out. I like the largest diameter she has, 1.183" I think. Great handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ScottScott Posted March 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2019 Masterline for amything handle/rope related. Call them if youre looking for something not on the website, they have many options they can do that aren't all listed on the website. The custom handle works great for me, add the radius and helps the tendonitis a lot. Its amazing how just a slight bend makes a big difference. They are the industry standard for a reason.
