The handle I have now gives me blisters every time I go out and since full handles cost a lot I just wanna get this bar. Does anyone know if it fits on any handle?

I'd say email Straightline, or go down to your local wakeshop/the place where you bought that and ask them about it.

i have the yellow grip on my straightline handle. i like it and it doesnt give me blisters at all, but i used to have an accurate with the same grip as the murray but it broke. the murray grip is awesome

i know when i go out i get blisters at first, but theyre not really blisters. Its just spots where the skin has rubbed off from the handle. After a day or so of riding doesnt happen again.

integrity640, No I get blood blisters every time, no matter how may times I go out. I get calluses but I still get blisters. I definately need something soft.

wakemitch, the murray handle is soooo nice, i love the grip on it.

jboss, should you not want to get a new handle, id say invest in some waterski gloves. They are actually really comfortable and will help with your blister problem alot.

I am not sure which model Straightline this is but it is super soft and it is changeable. I used to get harsh blisters with my old nevin handle, I switched to this last year and have not had a problem.

that handle isnt exchangable if i remember correctly. not sure why you'd wanna do it, though. all the straightline handles are pretty damn comfy.

the 06 murray handle isnt all that great. blah. kinda bummed they did away with the old grip pattern. feels like an overglorified waterski handle almost. it was very easy to hold though. just not as comfy as previous years'.

one thing i hate about my straightline is how the logo type thing is right in the middle of the grip. i always make sure the handle is flip over one way so im not holding the patch thing.

the accurate era (ruck sig) is a nice big soft handle.

scott a, You're probably right but in the link below it says that the formula for my handle (the Squid) has a firmer formula.

once you go carbon you never go back

classik5onit, i had the carbon zero g and that thing broke in a year. im not sure how but it cracked all the way through and the grip was peeling off

damn dude well all i know is there feather light and are pretty comfortable thats why i like them. i also feel like i get a better grip on a skinny handle

i prefer skinny handles too and they are light but mine just didn't last long
