Cause the flex pattern has changed to different areas on the ski this year, has anyone noticed a difference when riding this years compared to the 09 or 08 model?

Pros, cons?

my friend demoed some at hood this summer, said they were awsome....then he picked up a demo pair from the volkl rep, a 09 version, for 200 dollars

i tested them back last year at the stratton demo and really didn't notice much difference.  I will state i skied bout 50 different twins over those 2 days.  Best be find someone that has last years or the 07/08's and see how they think they compare.

i demoed them last year at okemo, but I haven't ever skied on 09's so I dont know how their different, but they seemed like a great ski to me, but maybe a little thin for my taste (I ride suspects). The volkl guy that gave me the skis said that new skateboard griptape-ish stuff they used as the new topsheet made the ski a little bit stiffer than before but everything else in the ski was the same.

i have the 07/07 walls in a 177, and i just got the 09/10's(for free with jesters for free claimm!!)i have yet to ski them, but yeah they just have some grippy graphic on them, to be al honest if anything just by flexing them by hand they feel softer, but that cant be confirmed until i ski them, ill let u know when i do
