07/08 Addicts VS> Rossi Ghetto

Let me start by saying that i have looked through the threads and forums and havent quite found just what i am looking for. I know that the Addicts are 100% symetrical but since i have never ridden a 100% sym ski, i am curious how it would feel. I also know that these skis are not supposed to be great all mtn skis, but does the sym design on addicts compromise ability to ride all mountain much more than say the Ghettos or any other non symetrical park ski?
How do these two skis compare in terms of weight, flex, and any other important specs. Thanks

first let me say i own the addict pro, and havent ridden any of the newer scratches. the addicts are gunna be able to ski switch better (doesnt compromise their all-mountain ability in any way imo), but they are probably heavier. in my opinion, the addict was alittle short and soft, but i dont know how they will compare to the scratch ghetto. if you love skiin switch and like a semi-soft all-mountain park ski you can butter, go for the addict pros

dude, the addicts are actually stiff for a park ski. i love my addicts, they are soo light and i can ski em anywhere on the mountain really. heard good things about the ghettos to though. both would be a good choice.

i did find mine very stiff or light at all, maybe they changed the construction inbetween years. they do feel stiff as shit when you just flex them, but when your skiing, their really soft

i wouldnt call them soft, they clearly have a lot of pop, but they are not a ski made for butters like an invader or anthem. they were built as a solid ski for hitting jumps at high speeds and they are sick for rails, but definitiley not soft like a noodle. mine are amazingly light oo. i have the green and white addicts so maybe they changed, but my addicts with z12's is the lightest setup i have ever felt.
