Should I return this,or will it work itself out?

The handle is folded when you buy it, so usually when you remove the zip ties it looks like this. Put some weight on the handle and measure each side of the triangle. Or ski it and when you stand on the ski look at the triangle, if it’s so off you would be able to tell that it’s not straight, but it should be ok.

@davethewave that picture is deceptive. What does the handle look like when somebody is pulling on it?

10/10 This is exactly as I suspected in your original post. Put some weight on it and go ski. Likely whoever shipped it to you packed in too small of a box so the tubing held that shape.

Looks totally normal to me. Lots of plastics will "hold shape" for a bit, but as soon as they are placed into the kind of tension involved in skiing, they'll hold the desired shape instead!

Try to hang couple of kilos weight on it and heat it with hairdryer. It will fix.

Personally, I wouldn't do anything at all. Well, unless you need to win a Sexiest Handle competition some time before the next time you'll be skiing with it.

It could help with elbow issues... just depends on how much force you put on the handle.

Could help to improve offside turn as well.

It will straighten out. Mine came like that. It's just the way it shipped. After one set it was fine.
