the reason its cheaper is because it has a standard ski/tubing main rope. not a zero stretch spectra line, and the like.
basically your buying the handle the rope you throw away.

bullet lines are a popular inexpensive brand.

other ones you could have gone with are any wakeboard manufacturer like Ronix/LiquidForce etc. Or straightline, accurate, helium, Proline...

they all offer a variety of cores and coatings/no coating

haha yep, I have a carbon handle too... huge waste of money. There's really no advantage to a handle weighing 1 lb or 2lbs.

Mine still looks great because I had it when I wasn't really trying too many difficult tricks. But at a local lake comp one year a guy had one like mine that was chipped like a mofo
