The Problem:

Ski handles have always been pretty much the same with regard to the way they are tied. Holes are drilled through the ends of the handle, the rope passes through the hole, and it is secured. Because the ski line is flexible, the handle is free to pivot about the point of attachment. This flexible attachment point allows undesirable handle "roll-out".

Conventional handle alignment with full grip

What is "Roll-out?"

Roll-out occurs when the skier just begins to lose his grip on the ski handle. As he "let's go" with his thumb, the handle has a tendency to roll off the fingers which further "unwinds" the hand, reducing grip even more. It's easy to experience roll-out, just grab any traditional ski line and pull hard. Slightly loosen your grip and see how the handle twists in your hand. This is "roll-out" and virtually every handle on the market exhibits this twisting behavior. The result is tired hands as you constantly re-grip to compensate for roll-out.

As grip loosens, handle rolls slightly which tends to unwind the hand even more.

With ARS, handle cannot roll out, feels more secure and allows recovery from partial loss of grip.

The ARS Solution

With the Advantage Anti-Roll System (ARS)*, roll-out is eliminated by attaching the ski line at two points on each end of the handle instead of just one. With the line attached at these points, twist is virtually eliminated. ARS gives the skier a much firmer handle and allows for easier recovery from partial grip loss. Every skier, from the seasoned tournament skier to the weekend recreational skier will notice and benefit from ARS.
