How does the T Hall compare to the AR6?

Buy the AR6.  T-hall is just the AR6 with weird flex points in front and behind the binding.  The tip is softer on the T-hall, but the tail behind the binding is super stiff.  Do yourself a favor and buy the AR6, it is a better ski, for cheaper.  I like the T-halls for rails/butters only, not a great booter ski, and it is awkward in the pipe.

i'm not sure about the new ones, but last year they were the same ski really. Same core, same mould, THall just had butter zones. If you want to play around and job more THall, more jumping, get ar6.

  Do NOT get T-Halls if you ski pipe....why would you want a ski as soft as that for pipe?  That's why Armada makes the pipe cleaner. 

  Butter points right in front and behind your binding?  No, it's better for the ski to flex more traditionally underfoot (and close to underfoot).  You want a "buttery" ski to have predictable flex in the places where you need to hold edges, and to be soft closer to tip and tail for pressing, buttering, blahblah.

  No hate buddy, because it's cool to take time to offer advice, but man, you're off on this one.
