I'm looking for a handle like that of the Hyperlite Premier. Something with a thicker grip. The handle that I have is all beat up. The colors for the year I have are a Lime Green, Carolina Blue and I think gold. If anyone was wondering what that handle I am talking about looked like

I assume you're looking for the Premier handle that was shaped like a churro? That handle was badass, and I don't think anyone made anything like it.

Everyone seems to have their own version of the new Premier shape (the one that's square or triangular instead of round). Unfortunately, this new style isn't as thick as the old style.

helium has a very similar grip on thier TCH2 handles. These grips are replaceable, I had one that looked like a spiral across the handle and when that one gave up on me I purchaced a replacement grip that looks just like the one you described (churro) ha that is a perfect description of it. It is all white though. The premier handles last year like that was 05 I just sold one out of the shop I work in that has just been lingering around here.

I love the old premier and still use it. IMO it's the best handle ever made and don't know why they would of stop making it.

Also using 2 premiers. Great handle, can do this summer with the handles, but will need a new one soon. I hope there would be some handle that feels close like these premiers...

Charley - Call Proline and they should replace your handles.

I have one in fairly good condition. PM me if interested in buying. Looking to change to slightly thinner handle.

Does anyone know why they stopped making the old style premier handle? Everyone I know says that handle was their favorite. If they brought it back they would no doubt make a killing off of it!

i used to have that handle but i recently switched to the new proline with the leather/ swade kinda grip on it, just basic looking but man do i love that handle, when it gets wet it becomes super tacky. and comfortable.

I had two premier handles...they were super nice, while they lasted. The grip kept coming apart at the seam. It seems to me like they shouldn't put the seam right where your fingers are, which gets the most torque and stress. But, what do I know.

I switched to the new Byerly handle and love it. Thinner handle, but more durable, IMO.
