The v-wrap and T bars are if you do wrap tricks. I guess they charge an extra $10 cuz of material and construction. I have a T-bar in my handle and I never use it. Theres not really an excuse to need one unless you're doing like KGBs or somethin. If you've never seen a T-bar you might consider getting a cheaper handle. The carbon handles are so expensive and don't give you that much in my opinion. Unless you want it to have the latest thing.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply. But thats just me when I get into something I like to get the best of the best to avoid ever regreting making a cheaper purchase and upgrading to the better one. But I think I know what the T bar and V wrap are. the are the little extra handles about a foot from the handle, right

Yeah, thats right. Its for grabbing the smaller handle with your leading hand and holding the main handle in your back hand so when you spin you don't have to do a handle pass. Mostly people use them who can't make 3's with the handle pass so they cheat and use the wrap. If you've got unlimited money go for it. The carbon's are the best out there. Just make sure you don't get clocked by one. Ouch.

HyperLite_GTX, if you want a handle that will progress with you as you try bigger and bigger tricks, u might wanna go for V-Wrap and T bar if u plan on having it for awhile... Very Happy

Well i dont think that i will need on any time soon but i am considering gettin it. I have a lot of friends that are good and maybe ill get it incase any one else needs it when they come out with me.

HyperLite_GTX, well if wakeboarding is something you wanna pursue, might as well get something good (not top of the line; they'll come out with something bigger and better or improve on something down the road) i mean, for $10 thats not a whole lot. Most people make that in an hour of work

HyperLite_GTX, good decision....I bought mine with the v-handle just b/c I thought it looked cool....but I hardly ever use it.

Most opinions on the carbon handles are that they chip/break too easily and they are not worth the extra money. I haven't ridden with the parks, but i held it and i like the grip so much better on my accurate premier. It's the thickest/softest eva grip and you can ride with it all day. It has nice pencil floats so it stays afloat, but the floats don't get in the way. You should hold the handles in your hand and see how you like them rather than just going out and buying the most expensive thing just because it's cool.
