I've heard that some people find the recoil to just be dead and just overall not playful. I have never ever heard anybody say that the T-Halls were bad or not durable. I'm actually looking at some myself.

My friend had the ARV and switched to the T-Hall and didnt love them at all, saying that they were not playfull... Didn't hear a bad thing about recoil.. ahah, I have the contrary answer as the other one, not really good for u.

I want some thalls, they are pretty buttery, and have carbon fiber strings in the tip and tail to keep the poppy. They are also very durable skis, like all armadas.

I came in here to post exactly that. It was like skiing on a thick piece of cheese. They're heavy but don't gain the usual stability of a heavy ski. No pop/spring, really dead.

I love my recoils. Pop with your legs!

Anyway, I find them to very stompy, super stable and have great dampening. Recoils are EXTREMELY durable. That extra weight has a purpose.

Solid all-mountain ski as well.

yea idk what people mean by "dead" skis but I absolutely love my recoils for park and some all mountain, as stated before they're extremely durable and I think they're a great ski

Agreed. The recoils are a great versatile, durable all-mountain ski. They feel solid underfoot and hold up great on urban features. I don't find them too heavy, I believe they're lighter than the chronics.
