I am trying to decide which ski would fit me better and am having trouble deciding. I am in the park all day everyday and enjoy jumps as much as I enjoy rails. With the bigger jumps starting to come in, I would like to have a stable jump ski. Earlier this season I made the mistake of buying Afterbangs and didn't feel comfortable on jumps at all because of how buttery they are. I know the Pro Pipe is very stiff and the T hall is flexier, but will the T hall hold up on large jumps? And will the Pro Pipe still slay rails?

Please help me out NS im strugglin

the pro pipe has a different base material. Much higher maintenance but much faster. A pipe ski is also designed to be super stiff with great edge hold for carving on the pipe...
if you like salomon look at the suspect.

in terms of stiffness if goes suspect begin most stiff, AR6, then Thall being least stiff

But will the T hall still hold up on larger jumps? I know that they're more flexible in the tip and tail but stiff underfoot

i cant vouch personally for the T-Hall but the AR6 can handle anything!  some of the best skiiers in the world are on that ski doing 100ft booters

I have seen many pros useing the t-hall in big air comps but that could be a totally different ski with the thall top sheet, they arnt that soft and you know they will be durable wile anything salomon makes is a little iffy as far as durablity goes, the ar7s sound great for you, ive had mine for two years now and they hold ip awsome, they are super stable on big jumps and are suprisingly buttery if you have strong legs, pm me with any questions

i ride thalls and have ridden suspects and the thalls are so much better
they are great for rails and i have had no problems with them on big jumps i would deffenitly go with thalls but ar7s would also be great
