I think the Pipe Cleaners are a tad bit stiffer then the AR6 because of the base and there design to be more pipe specific. Than AR6s and then the noodles^

I ride the 09 AR6 and they are pretty stiff. The pipe cleaners are even stiffer and the t-halls are legit 2 noodles.

my friend has the Thalls this year, and they arent quite the noodle they used to be, he still flexes the living shit out of them and you can see that they clearly have flex points

I have the 09 THalls and they are super soft for presses and butters, but really stable for jumps and high speed.

i ride 09 ar6 and the noses are pretty soft and the tails are stiff for pop
i wouldnt say the whole ski is stiff
i can butter them easy im 5'5 125lbs with 176
so its not that much of a stiff ski

and the t-halls arent noodles anymore
they are the softest ski of the 08-09 line tho and very easy to butter still
