Djinn Pro Handles

$85.00

Designed to John Barresi’s own specifications, these all black aluminum Pro quad handles measure 13″ from tip to tip, ready to fly with adjustments included.

Available on backorder
SKU: prohandles
Category: , ,

Often one of the most simple but underestimated parts of a quad pilot’s equipment, our handles utilize a very specific curve depth, angle and location to maximize performance (a wider curve area provides smoother inputs, and placing the curve partly into the pilot’s grip eases the transition between forward and reverse), each pair comes with equally specific multiple-adjustment leaders on both top (throttle) and bottom (fine tuning / R-L equalization).

We have also selected a closed-cell foam we like very much, it has a firm but yielding grip and the surface of the foam itself has a kind of “skin” on it that helps shed sand in wet conditions.

As with all of our other products, these handles we designed to be used (and abused) by John and his team, designed and manufactured with durability, performance and value in mind.

    Love the feel and adjustability of the Djinn Pro handles. There is lots of adjustment for your flying style.

    These handles are excellent! I love that the cords have the measured knots already tied. They have good responsiveness with the kite. These Djinn Pro handles work well for nuanced slack line & short string flying and give consistent control out on the 120ft lines.

    Lovin these handles!!! Strong, durable and love the extra braking power. My inverted skills instantly improved!! The fulcrum point is spot on and the balance really works for me! The adjustibility with all the extra knots is also a big plus!! Definate get it!!!

    This is an improved version of the handles. The bevel edge where the leaders pass thru have been rounded more to help keep the leaders from cutting. Less of a sharp edge where the leader comes in contact with the handles.

      Good eye Tim – yes, we’ve been able to refine the finishing on the leaders holes prior to applying the black coating and it seems to be doing the trick. #alwaysimprovingwherewecan 🤙

    The Pro Handles ate exactly what I was looking for. The response is so much quicker and smooth. Kite Forge was leaving for a festival and were out of the shop, but took the time to notify me and ask if they needed to ship right away or when they were back. This was the best service I have ever received. Thanks Kite Forge your doing fantastic!

    excellent quality handles far superior to the revolution ones

    Handles are well-made and the included leaders have plenty of adjustments; additionally, the curvature is uniquely suited to the Djinn’s flight style. The grips are a little thick for my preference, but that’s all a matter of personal taste and easily remedied with a few files and a dull chisel. Bottom line: more good stuff from Kite Forge (to nobody’s suprise).

    When I received my handles I was worried the foam handles were too big for my small hands. But when I’m flying I don’t notice the size at all and with the adjustable leaders they’re perfect for me.

      That’s a good telltale that you’re not “choking” the handles, too tight a “closed fist” grip limits control. We’re glad you like them!

    Only tried them a couple of times they are heavier than I expected, but certainly offer excellent prompt response for the Kite so looking forward to getting used to them

    The knots on the leaders are perfectly consistently place.

    These are the best handles out there, hands down. I fly just a little more precisely with them, no joke. They are the only handles I will use anymore, I now have three pairs 😎

      Thank you Katrina! We put a lot of thought into the curve ration, length and grip texture. High praise, with your background in team flying.

    I love the quality of these. I have 3 now to help my life be more efficient with line length swapping. Customer service is always super fast to respond. Cheers to all customers and kite forge. Much love !

      Thank you! We have found that most hard core fliers usually end up with 3-4 sets of handles for exactly that reason, with a set dedicated to their most used line weights and lengths.

    Awesome handles that I can “grow into”. I am fortunate to be able to have the best gear as I get into quad flying. I like how snag-free these handles appear to be compared to the set I tried out last fall

    They feel very strong and nicely balanced. The wider grips fit my hand very well. Weather preventing me from trying yet,
