Tms are pretty soft skis, still hold a decent edge though.

the same, they never change them because the team loves the ski so much, and thats why next year all they did what reinforce the edges but they wont change the ski for a while i dont think

Mine started off stiff, but they have softened up, but they are stiffer that my AR5s or chronics. Honestly I didnt like mine, thats why I am selling them. Good in the moguls though. I think my other two skis are a lot better.

The 2004 ar5s are quite a bit softer than the tm's, on the off chance that he was referencing them.

theyre somewhat stiff in the nose, and a little softer in the tail, i dont know what people are going on about losing stiffness though, mine still feel brand new and they have crazy pop. i'd say about the same flex as ar5's with more snap to them.

Thats what i have the 04 AR5s. Sorry to mention that. And I dont know why, but to me they used to feel stiffer new than my chronics do new. Maybe its cuz i ski them differently i dont know.
