byerly handle?

What you guys think, should i get this for my new handle, ive decided on the accurate x-line but still looking for a good handle, this seems cheap and well made, along with the byerly name seems good to go.

I dont get it, why would you make a handle that sinks?? I cant see any good coming of that. Im new to wake sports but Ive been surfing forever and been around water (snorkeling, free diving, canoing) even longer... Almost everything floats, even my fins.

i would recomend that handle if you like a super thin handle. I like a super thin handle and love it, if i could get a handle that small and have the leather like the proline handle it would be off the chain.

Pancho Villa, yeah its very thin and after a while it starts to feel like a stick in your hands. but when it was brand new it was wicked gnarly.

I got this handle a few months ago. I liked the smaller diameter. The rubber grip began to peel off within 5 sessions and the rubber liner covering the rope started to rip soon afterwards. Definately not my favorite handle.

yeah i rode last years byerly handle for a little while. I love how they feel in my hand but i cant get away from the proline leather. I so wish i could get leather on a byerly diameter grip.

-=AlexXx=-, it isn't boardstop, but try this one out:

good price & IMO they last as long or longer than any of the other handles out there.

to re-life old handles, use those grips for tennis rackets. worked good on my friend's old handles and lasts awhile if you wrap them right.
