I have a lifetime of gym experience training in lots of commercial gyms since the golden age, so I am old. I have used all manner of handles and can say these are definitely worth having. They avoid the strap problem with traditional D handles which can rub on your wrist or forearm in some exercises. These can also move more freely in any direction as they are not confined by the D handle style side straps unless you move the Angles90 straps to be configured as a D handle, which they can do. The only criticism I can even think of is if you do curls with these I would recommend gloves as they rub on your middle finger. Not a big deal but its the only negative I have found. I like them so much I left a pair on my chin bar because I like the free motion on my wrist positions and as a former NPC and AAU competitor I have aches and pains and these are less restrictive on my shoulders. I bought the 2 pack , buy one set get another practically free. I was intending to give the second set as a gift but after trying them one set stays on my chin bar and the other in my cable attachment handle arsenal.
