Debating on: domain, filthy, antigen, or ace o spades, with the only outsider consideration being the new thall.

I want soft tips, poppy, LIGHT/good swing, 176-179cm, 87-91mm, early-rise or a flex zone, don't care about durability.

Main intended use is as a medium sized jump tool (30-50), general jibbin, and lots of butters/presses.
I'm 5'10, 170, aggressive rider.

domains sounds great for you, im 5'10 around 145 pounds and have the 2012 domains, they are super fun with rails cuz of the jib rocker and they hold up great with jumps, biggest ive hit on them was around 40 and had not 1 problem

Why is durability not a concern?

I'm 28 and I run my own online business in order to make more time to ski. Durability isn't important because I buy whatever ski suits me, if it's durable that's just a bonus!

It seems more people prefer a soft tipped camber to rocker (like a filthy or antigen) over a flat to camber (like a domain or a lib jib) simply because of a litttle more life in the pop. That seems to make sense. Flat to rocker people always seem to mention surface swaps, but its not like you cant do that with camber to rocker.

I think I'm leaning filthy or antigen... any differences or preferences !?... doesn't seem like many people have ridden either one. Ive got a pair of Liberty LTEs and they ride awesome, but they are pretty much lifeless after one long season, pretty much only downside, but no big, they were great while they were fresh!

I would get the filthy. I would personally get them myself if a friend didnt already have them. He loves them and says theyre a great ski. They would work great for what you want.

well if you want ligjt and poppy that rules out both ace and domain as both are heavy and dead. You should first figure out if you want rocker or not. if so i would throw halos in the mix as they are quite light and poppy. if not throw heads in there too. most under rated ski company right now for sure

i think you should really consider the atomic punx. really light and quick edge to edge, loads of pop, soft in the tips and tails, but stable since its cambered. just bought my second pair in a row. these skis are the best ive skid to date, and i went through alot of park skis from many brands

t hall is really light.  if you like skiing aggressively don't be afraid of the bigger size as well
