Baller Waternut Posted October 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'm trying to figure out the purpose of the triangle grip. Does anyone have one of these or know what the point of it is? Looks kinda painful but so did an elliptical handle at first but I love the elliptical one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted October 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2012 @jfw432 - I had the radar extend, with the triangle grip. Absolutely loved it. Then the handle broke on the 4th set I took using the handle and it broke at the extension. Based in that I didn't get another one, but if they reinforce the sides, I'll be getting one for sure!

Joeprunc Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Interesting you mention your extend handle broke too. I'm waiting on a warranty claim with the local shop I bought it from. Mine broke the first month of use, it broke on the extension like yours. I've been very patient waiting for a reply from someone, and not sure whether its Radar or the shop that is dropping the ball. A $75 dollar handle should last more than a month. I've wakeboarded with a triangle handle and actually really liked it, though the grip was a lot softer than I would assume the radar handle would be.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted October 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 9, 2012 @Joeprunc - I agree, a $75 handle shouldn't break after 5 sets OR a month of use. I was quite surprised a product from Radar would do that. Until they make a better extension, I won't be using one of those handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeprunc Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just an update I did finally receive a new yoke under a warranty claim for my broken handle. After skiing with my old SL handle for the remainder of the season it made me appreciate how nice the Radar handle is, the width and grip of the bar are very nice. I'd recommend this handle if only their customer service had gotten me a replacement handle is a reasonable time frame...not 4 months later. But if this replacement handle (yoke section) breaks again I will not be replacing it with another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 2, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 2, 2013 @joeprunc - when I skied with one of the Wilson Bro's two weeks ago they had the same Radar Extend handle. Was obviously well used, but had held up well. My new handle by Radar, while not the extend has the same grip type, which is what I loved about the Extend handle. After this wears out, I'll consider another extend handle, maybe get more than one so I have another backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeprunc Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 @Skoot1123 The new handle yoke I received from Radar is orange, the one I broke was yellow. Hopefully orange is stronger than yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 3, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 3, 2013 @joeprunc - I would hope so too. Who knows?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
