Baller jipster43 Posted August 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2014 Looks great! The loop needs to be bigger to allow the option of running the handle through it if your at a tournament and the ropes have the smaller loops. I ran into this a month ago and fortunately my handle had the larger loop. I love the anti-roll of this design and the elimination of mid-grabs, but I also love the protection it offers skis. I have tagged my ski with the handle three times this week and there's nary a mark to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted August 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2014 Looks great. What is the function of the offsets at the beginning of the V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted August 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2014 Is this a partnership or some sort of licensing agreement between ML and US Gear or is this one all ML? Looks great regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MZito Posted August 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2014 This is all ML as far as I know. Randy built it himself. He said this is still considered a prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted August 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2014 When I was there a couple of weeks ago they were also making them as barefoot handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 2, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2014 @mzito I assume you mean Randy at Masterline NOT Randy at US Gear @Texas6 I do not have first hand knowledge of any recent dealing between US Gear and Masterline but I would bet a case of Kilo Kai that US Gear is not in a joint venture with Masterline Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MZito Posted August 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2014 @davemac made a short video of attaching the handle to a ML main line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MZito Posted August 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2014 @rockdog please contact Randy at ML for pricing as these are still prototyped according to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mlusa Posted August 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2014 All of the Masterline slalom lines have large 15" loops to make handle changing easier. It's much better to build a large loop on the rope to accommodate all of the different handle configurations. Loop on the handle section is standard, but is easily attached to our ropes. Just put the large loop through the small loop on handle and then put handle through the big loop. I see many dock starters attaching the handle the wrong way and fighting to get the handle through the little loop and not utilizing the large loop of the rope. We are now set up to do almost the entire process in our factory. We can customize these handles any way you would like. We don't have them on our website yet, but you can call us to order you customized handle. We will also have a few samples to display at Nationals and can fill orders as soon as we are back home from Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ThePantsManCan Posted August 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2014 Randy at ML told me just the 1.00 for now. But, he told me that three weeks ago. I am sure they will announce it when they are ready for additional options. That's what I am waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
