are the top pros using the same skis that you and me can buy in the stores, or do they have skis with stiffer constrution and stuff.. just wondering, to me it would seem strange if like pep hits 100+ ft tables on normal fujatives... i think he would need a stiffer ski

Most of the pro model skis that you see the pros on are the same ski that you and I buy in the store, i dont care what anyone else has said or what you have heard.  99% of the promodel skis are the same.

Morrison used to use stock Seths. Granted, he skis 189s and must only be about 160lbs.

Ok, I wrote that wrong.  I was meaning that the pro that has the pro model ski skis the same ski that everyone else buys in the store. 

Not as in every make and model is the same.

My bad.

Its not 99%, but still is very high.

Alot of the time, its the same topsheet, but a different ski or even next years ski. But yes, you are correct.
