Are they worth the $$$?

I've been riding off and on for a few years now. I can go wake2wake no problem, Ride switch ect. I'm ready to step it up, Get more air/pop and start trying new tricks.

you dont need a low stretch rope, you need a no stretch rope and yes they are worth it, and where i got mine they were a lot cheaper this time of the year so they might not be so expensive for you

Its one of those things that you don't really realize until you ride with one. Then you'll wonder how you ever rode without one. At least, that's how it was for me. Laughing

I just went from a ridiculously stretchy rope to a no stretch rope and I love it. I noticed the difference on my wake to wake airs right away. Now I am easily throwing wake to wake grabs and shifies behing a jet boat that has a horrible wake. I also almost landed my first 3 the other day on this new rope - handle passes are a lot easier now.

I just bought this rope and handle on Ebay. 100% spectra for less than $100.00. Should be here next week.

My current spectra rope/handle is an old Accurate hand-me-down from a buddy.
