Jace D Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just purchased a Hawtech handle for my Calcutta 400b. Don’t really know anything about them but they are way cheaper than a DRT so I figured I’d give it a try. Anyone using these right now? Good? Bad? Ugly?

Phiderman Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have both, I prefer the drt handle but the hawgtech handle is great. For the price and availability factor it is hard to beat the hawgtech. Jace D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOZ Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just got one too for a Cardiff. I went with the 102mm swept with black knobs. Looks and feels great. Jace D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tblando Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’ve got 2 of the 110mm handles I put on my Cardiffs. Made a huge difference— well worth the investment. I plan on replacing all my Tranx next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering doing the same when I pick one up soon but wasn't sure if it would be much of a difference to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t personally think the stock handles are bad— it’s just the hawgtechs feel better and have more grip. That’s definitely the case when compared to the 300/400A series (5:8:1) that has the double paddle handles. The 300/400AHG (7:6:1) has the single power handle which is actually pretty nice and is growing on me. And I’m pretty sure the hawgtechs will shave a few ounces off the overall weight. I took some pics so you can see them side by side. NEbucketmouth19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
