lookin for a new handle,open to suggestions.
was useing a straightline but don't like that it rotates in your hand.
haven't used masterline or accurate. like the idea that accurate handle has the rope around the handle vs. thru the handle so you get no handle rotation

I am confused. I have had a number of Straighline Handles including the one I am using now, and have never had the handle rotate. I agree that would be an unacceptable "feature".

I am currently using a Straightline B2i handle, and i stands for interchangeable. This allows you to pop out the bar, and replace it with a different style bar without having to get a new handle. For example, I have a radius bar in mine, but also have a straight bar in the glove box since not everyone like the radius. The bar snaps in on clips on either end, and there is NO WAY it is rotating.

if you put your hand around the handle the handle will rotate half way around, "slip" I believe because the rope runs through the handle vs. not being attached to the outside of the handle.

Hmmm.... I've never experienced this but, I am running a Masterline Mapple and it definitely doesn't rotate. If I were you, I'd call Brenda at InTow. I'm sure she has experience with what you are talking about and can help you out. Super nice lady and she makes a great product (bought the masterline during her brief hiatus last year...). www.jlbmfg.com

I personally don't trust the interchangable bar thing...but I'm sure it's fine. My advice is to go with a straight round bar that is comfortable for your hand size, but it's personal preference. I think it is less distracting to have a consistent handle, especially if you mis-grip slightly. My eliptical radius used to drive me crazy... but I'm sure there are guys who run more buoys than me who will tell you otherwise.
