the belmont has the torsion bars for so called easier handle passes, i don't think so. the premier has a very squishy and soft handle. i would get the premier if i were you. _________________ i would like to try and wakeboard in jello before i die, that would be rad

I'm sure u hear this a lot but if you haven't tried them yet you should. if you live near orlando u can go to performance they have all things hyperlite. just try to get a feel for the grooves at a shop or something. it'll be different in the water but u should be able to get an idea. i would recomend the proline gripstick but they're kind of hard to find and might be expensive? i just borrowed my friends and it was really soft. i doubt this helped at all. waste of time. sorry. _________________ www.ten-80.com

If you want something comparable to the new carbon handles without the cost, get the Belmont handle. That's whay I have and it has the torsion bars in it to give it the feel of the carbon handles. |

hey, nevermind about getting the belmont or the premier. i was showing my mom the belmont and she asked what was better about it then the one i've got now. so i told her and then i was like the parks is the best one but it's too expensive. and she said that she would get one of te carbons becuase it's my birthday present so now my question is where on-line can i get the parks with a wrap and is the parks the best on out of the carbons????????? thanks _________________ My videos- www.wakepics.com/member/GhettoLake4

I have heard that the parks is the best (one of my friends looked into it), but the Grubb still looks pretty cool |

I just got the new Parks handle. I have'nt used it yet, but the grip feels too good on the hands, and it's super light. It's weight makes it feel funny in your hands at first. I can't wait to go try it......... |

I'm getting Proline's new EVA handle this year. It's got new "pencil" foam floats which seem cool, but I'm going to cut them off because the handle floats even without the foam.

guess belmont or recon handles the little bumps can peel off, so might want to get the premier otherwise hardline because then you get just swap out the handles |
