Line invaders were the original symmetrical twin tip and they have butter zones too. In my opinion waayy better than the addicts.

invaders don't ski like addicts though. less stable, though better than fujis. um something similar would be more along the lines of a line chronic (a tad stiffer), armada AR5 (ar6s are different), or rossi scratch wrs (different flex, but similar results)

i was talking to a fischer rep last weekend, adn was talkin about how the addicts got sold out so quick. he said because it was their first year on teh market and teh design came out late, they couldnt get alot shipped out. he also said that next year they will start shipping alot earlier and make more due to the success and popularity of this years.
So he said if u really want them u'll prob have to wait till next year, and he also said u might not have to pre-order becasue they're planning on shipping so many out
