Carbon handles

Hey guys, you like carbon fiber handles? I think b/c thay are so hard and durable, it slips out of your hands easy.

Soft handles are sweet. Who's got a handle they swear by?

You right hammer, the grip seems to peel off and wear down quicker. Plus, anybody get knocked out by the handle yet?

no but when the handle popsout if you stack hard, I feels like your hands got smashed with a hammer

justin and jimmy's parks handle kicks my ass everytime we ride with it. its chipped at the top and carbon fiber splinters are no fun.

i have the old catalyst(Grubb) handle. i like the feel of it but i dont like the carbon part. it hurts like hell. its cool so cause it floats nice and hasnt chipped or ripped YET.

P.S. anyone know of a non-carbon handle with the same texture as the accurate catalyst?

kento how did the catalyst chew your hands? its not even bumps or anything just little grooves?

I broke one catalyst handle in half and cracked a parks handle and the grip always comes unglued.

WaKeSk8er209, carbonfober has no give, so when the handle pops on a stack it hurts like hell it turned my hands red a couple times and they cramped up

I've used the same handle for quite some time. I dont even know what kind it is. I know it wasnt a super nice one though. Handles arent important enough to me to need to buy the latest and greast, plus they are expensive. I'll stick with what I got.

Could someone change the title to carbon instead of crabon?
