It is a prety wide handle and the grip is excellent. I got an old LF one from the time Cassette was still with em. Same as the cassette one and I wouldn't ride any other ^^

And get a very simple one, those with little extra handles are pritty useless if u never wrap your tricks

i just got a murray handle, seems really nice. Haven't used it yet since I got it for xmas, but it seems solid. nubby grip is good, very grippy and comfy. The actual handle is stiff though, so its a lot better for handle passes. I've tried like 6 different ropes, and my fav is the SL thermal line. Super thin, and its got this crazy coating on it that makes it feel like plastic or something, smooth as hell.

I would NOT suggest carbon handles, because from what I've seen they get mashed to shizzle and are way overpriced.

By the looks of it though, the cassette handle seems like every other handle out there, nothing really special. If your hooked on the RIDER OWNED stuff I guess you could go for it, knowing that it's probably not manufactured by Cassette in the first place though. My 2 cents...

hyperlite640, what sucks is having that crap flap around if you dont need it, I just got the regular byerly hande, one of the comfyest handles I've ever had, I would highly recommend it, and the premier, if you have big hands, the cassette handle is pretty nice too, it just depends on what you like, I an putting a premier on my winch, only b/c I have an old one, I didn't want to spend the money on a second byerly
