Kennedy Faction vs Coreupt Yard vs Ninthward Firstblood

I'm thinking about buying one of these three skis. I like a softer ski that I can pop up onto rails with and has some decent flex. I'm not a big jumper but i want my skis to be able to hold up on 30-40 footers. With the options I've found, I could buy a brand new pair of 173 Kennedy's for about $330 without bindings. I could buy a pair of 173 Coreupt Yard's that have been mounted and riden about 6 times but are still in great condition for $280. Or i could buy a pair of 180 Ninthward first bloods that have only been riden once, that come mounted with deadbolts but may have to be remounted. I am a little over 6 foot and about 155 pounds but a like a bit shorter ski. What would you guys go with? Thanks

the kennedys will be stiff. the extra length of the fbs will make the ski more stable. the yars since they have the size to fit you and they are a medium flex they will be playful yet stable

alright, thank you, +k, please send other people to me thread, and do you know anything about weight or how the edges hold up on rails?

wow i totally misread your height i though just over 5. i take back what i said. my bad. the 181 kennedys are good for your size but like i said they are a little on the medium-stiff side but are still playful. the 180 fbs are really nice and playful the 90+ waist helps with landings and is more versatile. the 173 yards are short for your size the 181s would be good they are a medium flex. playful in the tips and tails yet stable underfoot for landings. i'd recommend the fbs they seem like the playful ski for you. 9th has stepped up their durability withing the past couple years if you are getting last years.
