catalyst handle

Raven · Posted: Mar 18, 2006 7:05 pm Post subject: catalyst handle

Hello my brothers who skate the wake on the wicked a$$ wakeskate.

Has anyone seen the new Hype catalyst handles? They are so funky, they are carbon and oval shaped. The grip like has these three protruding bulges on the inside of the grip. When you hold it, it seems wide in diameter. I wonder how it rides? Anybody tried it? Not for me, I was just curious.

How about the new LG-1 leather, anyone ridden that handle? Hows it?

Thanxs

P.S. If you could only have one wakeskate DVD to watch the rest of your life, which one would ya'll choose?

either Fill in The Blanks (its just such a "feel-good" video) or Volume 2

the new proline "leather" handles are the best handles ever. IMO.

Raven didnt you start a topic about this earlier? Laughing

But i have held all hyperlites new crazy ass handles and i cant stand the catalyst style ones, theyre oval so itd be real weird, i like the reg old style.

As far as SL goes if you're talkin about that double triangle lookin one I rode with one of those about 3 years ago ina tournament and i hated it. My friend has one and he doesnt like it either.

Movie was itd def have to be busty cops Razz

........... oh oh i mean fill in the blanks definetly Birthday

so i've had the lg1 since christmas, and it's already wasted. i do have to admit that it's the most comfortable handle i've ever used, but just not real durable. The problem with it is that the padding under the leather comes apart and bunches up, leaving just the leather and the plastic handle on one side. It all started with one bad fall and the handle being ripped from my hand. I think I'm gonna return it and get the catalyst....

one thing you could do is get the tennis raquet replacement grip. it's like that leather grip. i use the ruck signature handle. it's a bigger soft comfy grip.
