narrowed it down to three handles:

straightline amoeba grip
hardline club grip
liquid force watson handle

which would you buy and why?

Accurate Premiere.

Large grip cushy sqaured up grip easy to get traction on, my hands have not hurt since we got it. Neon color easy to see in water, so you know how much to nudge the boat up for your rider (no arm yank), you can also see it 70 ft away on a cloudy day. Get the T if you want to rap up.

Got an accurate Jacket rope too, no stretch, not knots, yellow easy to see in water.

ALL GOOD.

haven't used any of those handles - but i know i haven't liked most of the straightline handles i've used in the past, too hard on the hands.

but i highly recommend the premiere. i have it and 100% agree with tim's review.

Watson

It is similar to the Premier, with squared up cushy grip. But the raised grip on the Watson is strategically placed to fit the contures of your palm and fingers. For example, one raised grip fits between the palm & the base for your fingers. There are a total of 3 raised grips, while the Premier has more. Basically, it gives extra support where needed. And you don't need to keep adjusting your hands, which I use to do alot on other handles. The diameter of the handle is thicker also.

Sl's customer service bites, I had one and it shredded in about a month (just regular riding) dealer (Buxton marine Dallas maybe just them) told me "too bad"

Hardline Club out of all those. I had one until I got my belmont handle. For me the Belmont is the grippiest EVA handle I have used.

Ebay has a couple accurate handles for $65 shipped. Sounds like a good deal?

I've got a Hardline rope and handle. I'm not sure which one it was from but when I took it out for the first time it bled and stained the seats on our boat
