I just acquired some 177 09 walls and put them next to 178 anthems..long story short measured them and they are only 173 long...wtf, is this common, do you think all of them will be that short?

volkl measures short, call volkl and ask if you can trade in for some 185s
179 k2s = 185 volkls

more importantly, do the 09 ones look like they're gonna fall apart like last years?

the 08s broke easily because they made a mistake in the production. I think they fixed that mistake. hopefully

Line measures the chord length.  ie tip to tail with no sag in the tape.    Volkl does length of ski before pressed
