Stiga Conic Handle (named Champ)

I remember back in the early 80, I used conic handle and liked it very much.  I like FL because the end of the flared part withold my blade from slipping, but hated it for the curve contour.  I like ST because it felt full in my hand, yet during full swing there is a bit of insecurity that the blade might fly off my hand.  So Conic seems to offer the best of both, HOWEVER it is very hard to find. 

Until recently, Stiga produces Conic handle again.  They name it CHAMP, as opposed to LEGEND (for wide flare), MASTER (for narrow flare), WINNER (for AN) and CLASSIC (for ST, renamed from PETER).

I bought Stiga Allround Wood NCT with Conic handle, not because I particularly like that blade, but I want to try Conic again.  And I say, it is the best handle.  I can grasp firmly (no void feeling from contour that FL offers) and yet can swing hard without being afraid that it will fly off my hand.

I own BTY Korbel with Conic handle.  It is good also but it is kind of slim, so the blade is head heavy.

Are there anybody here that like CONIC handle as well?

also a fan of conic handles

Since I'm playing with ELcon handle from OSP I never want to change it. Big fan of conic handles. Stigas champ handle is great, but (slightly bigger) ELcon suits me a little better. Sadly conic handles are not very common.

+1. ELCON of OSP is also my favourite. They (Lazslo & R, Palatinus) have really done their homework to make this handle so well/nice.
