The ideal handles will be a perfect match for the size of your hands. Check where you grip in normal (medium) wind speed. Is it comfortable at that location? If not, shift the grip and bend location to a more comfortable spot. -

I have several sets made by Mikey D., from 180GO. You might get some info on the bending angles and point from him? -

wow, it's totally up to your preference,... I've seen handles with 2 bends and a straight section between, I've made my own too, they were bent in a pipe bender, with the curvature up high and then gradually to a straight line away from there. Mine were made for long throwing in-land no wind conditions, so they are made from titanium grade 5 tubes 3/8th's in diameter. 19 inch tube lengths before bending! The point of doing it yourself is to get something you couldn't have otherwise, not necessarily to save money. Enjoy your experimenting! -
So I'm trying to finish up a project I started a couple of years ago of making my own handles. Making several pairs of 13" handles and I need to bend them before I can paint them. Can anyone tell me the proper angle to bend Rev 13" handles and where is the bend point on the rod? I just don't want to cut off one of my grips and regrip it. I could. I just don't want to. -
