I just go a 15m Best Waroo and was wandering if I can use a 45cm best bar to fly it? I called a kite shop in South Texas and they said using a smaller
bar should be fine in fact they recommended it. They also said that’s what they use for their kites. On the Best web site it says that for a 15m you
should use a 55cm bar. So using a 45cm going to make that much of a difference in turning of the kite?

give it a try... if youre happy with it, use it... if not, you can find a good bar without spending a fortune...
either way... you win!

I got like a 50cm bar on my 16m Crossbow ... too small IMHO

I use a 55cm on my 12. but a 50cm on my 14. Its really down to how the individual kite responds.
generally a longer bar requires smaller movements and less pressure so longer bars work better on bigger kites or slow turning kites by giving more
response to your input.
Freestylers use short bars because they are easier for passes and unhooked riding so a freestyle kite will generally be designed to work with a
shorter bar.
My advice is just to fly it - you will soon see if the thing works or not!!
