Can't vote for either of those.
I vote for the "T' Handle rope

I voted for what I have. I have not used it yet.. Just got in a knotted rope and anxious to try. Only surfed 1 day last October and used a cut wake rope.. I suspect my wife will not like the knotted rope..

I really want to get a surfer, but living up in the great white North sucks when you need to buy everything you want online, you get geared on shipping so bad... Wish I knew someone in Buffalo, get stuff delivered there, then just pick it up :/
....Anyone live in Buffalo? :P

Definetly the knot, there's far to much danger in using a handle
Going those slow speeds your head can potential go right through that handle in a forward fall, especialy kids with tiny little heads.

Alright great, so for safety sake go with Knot or T-Handle.
I hate the knot
I can't hold onto the knot long enough to get out of the water. The few rare times I do get out of the water, I injure a finger.
My "Mr. Muscle" brother in law, also can't hold onto the knotted rope and get out of the water. He works at Universal Studios as The Terminator, Spider Man and Capatain America. He ain't no wimp.
My "Ms. Muscle" wife, pops right out of the water using the knotted rope. Of course, she is so water sports talented, she could surf a toilet seat.
Yesiree Bob, it's T-handle for me.
end of catharsis

I have not seen it in person, but I believe that handle is very small, so unless you have a tiny head (ok, 2 of em) then not much chance of it. An arm could go in there I guess. I'm ordering the T myself.
