Have not used this bar yet but have used the sentry V1 for thousands of kms. The smaller diameter grip is much appreciated in the V2. Lines are top quality!! Thanks Silent Sports!

Love the Bar... but no bag?
My wife bought me this bar for Xmas and I was thrilled, as I have the Sentry V1 and loved it. But... I was a little disappointed when I noticed there was now bag to put it in (and keep it clean). Was this maybe just a simple mistake or is Slingshot getting cheap and no longer including bar bags ??

I find with the Sentry V2 enhanced feel and greater confort with gloves. Makes my kite sessions more involved and lively kite feel can come through. The auto un-swivel simplifies, Velcro on the Clam Cleat hugs the trim line as to avoid extras cordage dancing around in your face. The connections offer three placement settings on front and rear lines so top notch for fine tuning. When comes time to stow away, well conceived elastic holders housed away in the foamy floaters pull out to secured your lines. I've had 6 sessions ont the Sentry V2 since purchase and can't find a fault in them when properly set up. Shout out to biggest leash metal clip I've seen yet in the industry , makes leashing up with gloves easier. Oh and it came with a Leash, most elastic and short one I've had and thus my Favorite. The eject and reconnect procedure is Glove Friendly and can be done without looking. The donkey Dick even at minus 17 Celsius remains flexible enough to bend in the hook no problem. On three Hour long Kite Sessions I've not felt the Cold from the bar come through my winter Gloves, so kudos to the bar wrap insulation. I'm happy with my purchase from Silent Sport and the Sentry V2 is so far the best Bar in over two decades I've owned. It's build makes me think it will endure hundreds of hours of Kiting under load from a heavy Kiter. Cheers and happy Kiting

Slingshot loop
Great little modification to eliminate need for the donkey stick.

Great bar!
Possibly one of the best bars in the market. The auto-untwist system works great!
