The nela handles are brilliant the best out there I thinkI find the cork handle to be barely any different. It doesn't feel as good as the nela cork, more like plastic.
I liked the cork handle on my nela till it failed last week.....replaced it with the rubber one...
I think the Mediflex with a cork handle is as good as it gets.
Too trueOr a month on the piss with your mates in jamacia sounds alright aswell.
