|
|
| hey everyone. for the past year, i've been using just an all around tow handle from straighline. my past run to the lake it really chewed up my hands to the point that i can't take it anymore. i've been looking around and as of right now, i'm thinking about the 2005 accurate premier handle. the grip looks a lot more confortable than others i've seen. does anyone here own one? go ahead and tell me what you use and the reasons you like it as well. oh, and where if possible i can find a good deal online for the premier handle. thanks. |

| to me, the way a handle feels is very important. go to your local shop and hook a handle to a tower at the shop and lean against it so you can tell if its right for you. |

| i had a hardline with rubber grip, last month the line for the handle, (not the main line) AND SUNK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE. (30-40' DEEP) now i am getting the murray handle from accurate as soon as i can get the money but at the current time im riding an old @$$ waterski handle with my regular spectra. |

I love the murray grip. A buddy of mine has an Accurate Premier which is OK, still pretty comfy, but not as grippy as my Murray. Premier is a lot more plush though - if you have sissy hand's the murray might rip em up a little bit _________________ www.sattelyte.com
