Baller Hallpass Posted April 22, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yes, it is/was a ski handle. Found amongst my father's boat stuff when he passed in 04. I estimate he used it in the late 40s or early 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted April 22, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 22, 2021 Don’t try letting go with one hand. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted April 22, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2021 @lpskier I think you could let go with one hand - you just need to have perfect timing or plan on hooking the turn and skiing into slack. It could be a training aid to teach you to stay on the handle longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller brody Posted April 22, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2021 Looks like it needs to be restrung!! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted April 22, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 22, 2021 @dchristman We tried stringing a handle like that. As soon as you let go, the handle turns in line with the rope. It does not work well. On the other hand, it would give Nate an extra couple inches at 43. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
