Is this a good handle?

This is my opinion on handles.

1) I don't care if it's strung with the "good" rope (spectra or dyneema) because it has a total of 5' of rope max. Even if the rope flexes a lot more than spectra/dyneema, it won't add up to a whole lot of the length is only 5'.

2) I don't like spending a lot of money on them. They are a bar, with a foam grip, with some rope strung through it. They probably cost less than 10 dollars to manufacture.

3) I don't care for T-bars or wrap handles. I don't use them, hence they aren't important to me and change the way the handle feels (adds un-needed weight about a foot in front of the handle which in my mind changes the way it feels (for the worse).

Since this handle satisfies my 3 criteria, I'd say go for it.
