carbon handle versus regular handle-feedback?

buying a new handle and wondering if there is a noticable difference.

thanks

very light, very easy to hold and pass, and easy to re-grab on suicide tricks, but the finish chips like crazy. we have been very careful with ours, and though it is still structurally fine, it looks like a p.o.s.
You also have to be careful of your hand placement (or flailing arms in my case)....I gave myself a goose-egg above my eye when I whacked myself with the handle doing a tantrum.

Yes-- very light. I'm glad I ran over my old handle. Kinda expensive, though (but what about this sport isn't!)

From what I've heard it doesn't help unless you're sponsered by Hyperlite.

Two things:

Wouldn't want to get my arm caught in a stiff handle.

Two, I'd like to avoid a chunk out of my board when it pops out of my hands.

I just got a new Belmont handle but it's the old style.
