punx are the lighter, more durable, more flexy of the two

What?

They're definitely lighter, but in no way more durable.

Flexibility is a toss up, but I'd say the T-Halls are more flexible personally.

The t-halls are more durable, but coming from someone who has skied and flexed both pairs, they aren't as soft as the punx.

I heard they redesigned the '13 punx to be more durable. if that's true I'm definitely going with those.

they did ditch the edges and got heat-treated wider edges. much improved

next year's t hall is very stiff under foot with buttery tip and tail. its a really unqiue flex pattern. very light. punx has a more consistent flex throughout the ski and is very playful.

both are good, u really cant go wrong.
