I love my punx. I think they are really light and poppy. They seem pretty playful for buttering and such. They will hold up on jumps but they aren't the stiffest

Punx are a sick park ski. Have not tried the Yards or heard anything about them. Definitely go with the Punx if you're looking for a light poppy and durable ski.

Fks are great. But squires are for light kids who can't break binding , go with fks

I'm really liking my Punx mounted with Axial 2's, they are pretty soft and poppy which is what I wanted coming from a stiffer ski.

I was a gaper last year (somewhat) and bought squires. Balto was right, they are shit.

i have the same setup... but as for the durability, i already have around 8 edge cracks in 7 days of riding with them (the 2010-2011 ones). I hear this year's models have much stronger edges though.
