    We have had all 3, the issue i found with the plain rope with knots is it takes a lot more hand <grip> strength to get up and when you try to teach new people they seem to have a hard time with this. Also after a day od wake boarding and such your hands are getting tired and this just adds to that when surfing.

    Had the T handle also and it is easier then the plain rope to get up, but like mentioned its pretty dangerous when being tossed in the boat and hitting people with it. Also somehow a few times people got hit in the face with it when falling and surfing.

    The mini surf handle has become the favorite, and it doesn't hurt as much if ti hits you, people can use both hands to hold on when getting pulled up, and even after sever days in a row on the water and your getting exhausted you can still hold it long enough to get up.

    have the Tee handle and mini surf handle. prefer the mini surf handle over the Tee handle for ease of use, just feels more natural to use

    Ive got a knotted one for sale if you want to try it out. We use these all the time, and we use them for deep water starts as well. Cant hurt to try for this price if youre just curious.

    That is what we use too and it's my favorite design. Handles make it easier for the newbs but braided ropes are easy to throw to the rider and then back at the boat without knocking heads or gelcoat.

    the mini handle works better for the kids, IMO. Some of those knotted ropes are really heavy.
