Punx imo. Masterminds are terrible quality. Afterbangs are heavy and bad for jumps. Domains are good as well, but i just prefer punx over them. Domains are great though

If it's punx v. domain, you have two symmetrical park skis. The domains are slightly wider (90mm) and also have rockered tips and tails with no camber underfoot. Punx on the other hand are full camber. I don't have experience with either ski, but that sums it up for you at least. I would wait for someone who has skiied both to get in here. Also, where are you skiing and what is your height/weight?

Punx are light, buttery, and exremely poppy. I think they are light and hold up well on jumps. I would go with punx in a heartbeat

Well, I am a bit biased since I don't know a whole lot about the Domains. Either or you will be happy with so don't stress too much about it! :)

Punx has a much softer flex than domain. Domains are heavier and has a damp feeling.
Punx are snappier and is much move lively. Edges are the same size but punx was updated with treated egdes.

Hey, my friend has the domains. He REALLY likes them. He said they are buttery but not noodles. He also said they are the most durable he has ever ridden. He has been on them for 3 years and no delaminating or chunk in them. If you are looking for a ski that will last a very long time, this is the ski.
But the punx are super noodles and I think you will have a lot of fun on them. So its up to you!

I love my domains. They are bomb proof and have a really progressive flex. I have a lot of fun just buttering around and finding tranny and stuff on them, but they are pretty slow in slush, most of the other time they handle groomers really well. Ive never riden punx, but from what ive heard from my friends who have them, they are amazing park skis, but sort of too noodley to ripe bumps/glades, that just what ive heard though. Doimains also take sometime to get used to because they are a bit heavier and damper. Both are really good skis though
