I haven't found the right finger throttle yet. They either are to far away and cramp your hand or have sharp corners or are too short and don't for well with ODI grips.
Sometimes you go with majority because it shows what's the best most comfortable!


Sooooo what do you pull to Braap ?

Kvpi is nice.... Real short, easy to pull, n doesn't bottom out on grips

PJS is nice.... Clean billet look, easy to pull, n has 3 different locations for cable barrel

UMI angled lever is a piece of art, comfortable, full throttle is exactly when it hits the odi grip.

Only complaint is the sharp edge on the very end, when doing flips and what not I've cut my middle finger countless times. It's ok by me cuz pain is there so all the more reason to go balls out on flat water :)

Sato was my favorite, hard to find now, Xmetal has too sharp of edges for my taste.
The cheapo Hot Products cast ones are inexpensive and feel nice but look cheap and usually are a bit sloppy.
I like the looks of the TBM and Cold Fusion levers but have yet to try either.

KVPI has a great lever, very comfortable and the design ensures that the cable doesnt rub on anything through the entire range of motion.

FRI sells the best feeling throttle and trim levers on the market to date IMO, they are pretty much spot on for comfort plus you can get the matching sets. check them out!

PJS pacific jet sport is what i prefer. KVPI are good, but kind of thin and sharp and wear a hole in your glove pretty quick. anything angled i hate. the stock plastic wavejammer/WR is the smallest of the stock plastic ones and very comfy, like stock SJ, but nobody wants stock plastic on an AM ski. your fingers need to be 6" long to run the blowsion levers. not too fond of UMI or FLY. the cheap WPS are comfy but unacceptable to put on a million dollar AM boat. all the adjustable ones are a high priced novelty and unnecessary. all levers need to be moved in towards the turn plate so the lever doesnt hit your middle finger when its pulled

TBM and the RRP are 100% the same. I really like to beable to chose the pivot angle. Its my favorate over the hot products, umi, and sharks that ive used in the past.

What a ton of different opinions. I have always been partial to straight pull UMI. It's what I am used to have have been running for at least 15 years. Sometimes you just get used to something. For me, adjustment of the lever is a HUGE part of it. I can't believe how many people ride skis with their levers way to high and also slid way to far out.
