I'm really glad that these things go on. This is the only way to get truely independant input on the equipment...you know...trying it...<br><br>When reading these reviews keep the following in mind. I currently ski the R-EX (184) and the TeleDaddy (173) with a Garmont Gara. I'm looking to replace the R-EX with something to compliment the TeleDaddy..and boots too.<br><br>Here's my take on what I tried:<br><br>T-Rock (180): Winner - Sweet, Smooth, still Snappy, 'Natural'. Right off the bat I felt at home on this ski powering it down the limited off-piste and the groomer. Felt like it would be a great ski to tour in and was still really nice on the groomer<br><br>Crossbow (179): Winner - Precise, Pop, Snappy, Rail. This ski felt much better than the list time I rode it. Feels similar to my R-EX. I think it would do better on hard snow than the T-Rock but you couldn't 'relax' as much since it takes input.<br><br>Kongur (184): Runner Up - I skied this back to back with my friends TM-EX (same binders) and there is certainly a difference. The Kongur is still a decent ski but not what it used to be (as others have said).<br><br>Baron (184): Looser - Something just felt sluggish.<br><br>Ticket: Missed - Didn't try but interested<br><br>Ener-G: Felt nice on the groomers but I didn't like the lack of flex in the ankle. Off-piste I had a bit of tip dive. The rep said that I should try the Syner-G or try the Ener-G with the cuff loose....I didn't have time for this because the rep wanted to go home and wouldn't let me check boots out at 8:30 for a demo that went to 9 <br><br>Syner-G: Felt better off-piste than the Ener-G and still had decent power at speed on the groomer...but penis envy is pushing me toward trying the Ener-G again.<br><br>T-1: I liked it when I tryed last time...I'll likely try it again
there goes another grand ???
