2007 Accurate Premier Handle and A-Line help

Hey,

I have some questions about the 2007 Accurate Premier Handle and the 2007 Accurate A-Line/X-Line questions.

How soft is the 2007 Premier handle? Is it comparable to the Straight Line Amoeba grip? I’m looking for that kind of feel. Also anyone who has this handle has it been holding up? Fairly durable?

Next, how do the extensions work on the A-Line/X-Line? What I mean is since the line is coated are the extensions coated as well? Does the coating go over the loops on the ends or are they exposed?

Okay kind of weird questions, but there’s no dealer around me that carries this stuff for me to check out, so any help would be great.

Thanks

pay about 25 bucks more and you've got yourself a good carbonfiber handle! why would you settle for that?

I mean if a handle doesn't mean much to you then go for it, but when you look down to it what is 25 dollars really when you are getting something way better?

Look at the Proline Militia and Delta and Straight Line has good handles for a bit more too!

WIsconsIN, I didn't say I want that just wondering how it is. So are the extensions coated as well?

Wakeboardcamp, I'm not interested in a carbon fiber handles, thanks though.

There is no coating over the loops and where the extensions come together. Otherwise the rest is coated. You can see it real well on the blue one on that site. Those lines are pretty sweet and will never tangle.

The Premier handle is definitely more firm than the Amoeba. If you like the feel of the Amoeba grip then stick with it.

Check out the A.R.I series from StraightLine. They have an Amoeba grip in that line of handles, and they're actually just as light, if not lighter than carbon handles. They are also "anti-roll" as well, and you can get it with or without floats. I'm a fan.

Side question, my Straightline U'line snapped yesterday! My buddy cut in hard and it snapped right before the first loop section that attaches to the tower. I've had it for a year or so, do es anyone know of their warranty policy?
