Big difference between 165 cm and 175cm TM's??

Hey,
Right now I am riding on 165cm Trouble Makers. This is my first season riding 'freestyle'. I can do 180's forwarda and switch and 360's forward and switch, not much but it is a start. My question is, will going to 175cm effect my skiing? Like will they be harder to spin, harder to jump? I am new to the sport, so bear with me! Any info would be great!!
Thanks,
Cody

I'd like to know if anyone has skied both, I am on 165's now, and I am considering upping to the 175's, the 165's just aren't doing it for me.

We'll need your basic stats, height, weight, skiig ability, and where you like to go on the mtn to really help you. I ski the TMs in a 165. I'm 5'8' 115 lbs and they're perfect. I doubt I'll ever have a beef with this ski unless it falls apart in less than 3 years. Did u get it with the P12 Jib? I love that binding.

I got the 165 because I am 5'4 give or take, and I weight like 130 so 175 is pretty massive for me but I still want to give them a try

I weigh 140 at 5'10'. I think 175cm would be better than 165cm. I am looking for a badass all-mtn ski mostly focused for the park! I am almost positive I am going to go with the 175cm. Any other comments/suggestions?

There will about a 10 cm. difference.

i ride 175's, but i should have waited and gotten the 182's. anyways, im 5'11' and 175, and these skis are so damn nice. however, they arent very durable so they might not last as long as you'd like. or maybe i just ride them hard. i dunno.
