I bought a petzl flow rope thinking it would be more versatile than my previous Yale blue tongue. However, I know these ropes have different manufacturers but were meant to be similar diameters, but in practise the flow appeared to be much thinner. It’s way more difficult to grip, it runs terribly on zigzag I weigh 82kg and mine slips constantly on this rope even on a relatively new zigzag I only used it once because it was that bad in both DRT and SRT. Also I don’t know if I just had a bad section but towards the top of the rope it has ridged and stiff flat sections which when climbing on hitch cord cause you to drop suddenly. I understand this is just my opinion and I’m interested if other people have had positive experiences with the rope because it was terrible. I’ll be sticking with Yale cordage going forward…
