Best Quad Line Sticks?


Hi guys, im back with another question.... whats new about that...... I was flying my Beamer today for 4 hours and noticed that quad sticks are really comfortable. Neoprene handles I believe I read that somewhere I think.... I had the Skydog Quad Sticks out for the SDT 2.8 and they really werent as comfortable to me. Are there any really good quality quad line sticks that you guys prefer to use?

PKD handles http://www.pkdkitesusa.com/ are prefered by most racers in Europe, Stephan van Bommel http://www.facebook.com/stephan.vanbommel?fref=ts also just came out with some handles that are becoming popular.

I like Ozone handles.
S



Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

I have these 2 (flexifoil):



and these (Peter Lynn):


and these (Ozone):


I also used to have these (Pansh):


I would say PL > Flexifoil > Ozone >>Pansh if you want lighter, durable handles.

If you're going to be jumping, I'd say FF > PL > Ozone >>> Pansh because the FF's are so solid and comfy.

Overall, I really like the simplicity, comfort, precision and durability of the PL's

I've tried Peter Lynn, standard flexi ones, radsail, pkd, and ozone. The ozones are my fave, no doubt. Completely covered in neoprene, and the power leads have about an inch and a half of neoprene, to stop chafing on your fingers.
They're not cheap, but less than some others, including the pro links.
I would definetly reccomend trying them out.

And also remember, you don't necesarily need one pair of handles per kite, although it is nice!

(ozone kite killers are also the best I've tried, although I have only tried 3 makes.)

I actually like the HQ Kite Killers the best. They're really thin, but solid without a bunch of extra padding. Oh and for reference, I paid $54 for my ozone handles at ITW (my local excuse for a shop).
