I like the standard HQ's alright, but I've never tried the ultras. I like holding the handle with the powerlines between my forefinger and middle
finger and I think the ultras have a curve at the top so that this isn't possible which is why I didn't try them.
I like my Ozone handles and ozone killers the best out of the ones that I've tried.

I can't comment on the ultra handles, but to me they look more geared to the Rev style kites. I use the standard pansh handles with my 6m Ace and 4.5m
Legend.
HQ Beamer III 1.4m
HQ Beamer III 3.0m
Pansh Legend 4.5m

Yea I think Ill just go with the HQ's that came with my Beamer. I like the way the line feels between my middle and index fingers. Makes it feel like
I have more control over the kite.

the line feel between my fingers is the most important thing! I'd rather use wide webbing, nice and flat, and attach it to leaders about six inches
out from the handles. Much harder to make a super strong attchment to the handles. The pansh lines give me blisters in about ten minutes of hard
flying, and my flexi handles with the neoprene are much better but still thin enough to dig in quite hard
fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....
sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...
also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

Handles, its a personal choice. I prefer Ozone and U-turn ones as I have big hands and find some of the thinner handles dont work for me

I use the ultra hadles and I really like them...although...they have different handling..you just have to get used to 'em...but I really prefer them
over those pansh "handle shaped objects".....the ultras are my choice ..I have tried flexis, rhombus, pkd's, ozone, and homemades...I like the ultras
