has anyone skiied or heard much about the joystick these skis? from what ive read they are a softer ski, normal camber, but not much camber, which i like, not super light or heavy which i like cause i like the solid feeling of skis with a little weight. and the width is right around what im looking for so they seem like they could be awesome for me.

i just havent really heard anything about them, anything got any more info?

When I was at CoC I talked to two people about the Joystick These. Rob Heule who's sponsored by Joystick said they were real poppy and mid flex. I talked to a camper about them too and he said they were really fun to ride. I wish they made them in a 178-181 range.

ON A SIDE NOTE:
I'm 5'11, 175lbs, would the 174 These be too small for me?

ok cool, still wanna hear a couple different opinions, but sounds like they are legit.

the size is fine for me, im 5 10 maybe 5 11 and 150 lbs with that width the size is probably perfect actually

Searchbar joystick these, theres already threads on them, they sound soft and fun. I would like to get them but 175 might be to tall for a person of 5'7 :(

if their quality is anything like surface's skis or joystick's poles, they won't be usable in a week

Had a buddy who demo'ed a pair for a week or so.
Said he loved 'em and were super playful!
I heard rumors they were a lifeless ski, but he said that wasn't the case at all.
Carried nice pop and a good playful flex pattern but not too soft.
