New rope help

So my default tow line just got split by the prop, and today was my first day using a new tow rope. It was a cheap one but it was a wakeboarding rope, and it felt awful. I dont know if it was the tow rope, but I couldn't predict anything with it. Most times I yank the rope before I pop off the wake. But this rope would simply stretch when I yanked it, sending me airborne out of control with an uncomfortable feel in the air. However, when I yanked the rope so hard I got some slack my buds said I got more air than ever before.

Anyone have any advice about using this rope or buying a new one? There must be someone out there who has had this same problem

Thanks!
