Armada ar7 flex/binding questions

So I just bought a pair of ar7's. From what I understand they are one of the stiffer park skis in armada's lineup, but are they still playful? I like doing butters and having a semi-flexy ski and I'm worried that these will be too stiff.

And what bindings will be good with ar7s? I've found marker griffons, squires, and salomon sth 12 drivers all for good prices and i'm not sure which one to go with, i'm also not tryna spend more than $200 on bindings. Are there any other suggestions on what bindings to go for?

For what it's worth im about 5' 8" and 140lbs Thanks for the help!

They're as playful as you make them, just gotta press harder. And I would go with Griffons. Squiers are shit! And salomon are also shit! Ha.

If you can get look pivots, or rossi fks. And your right that ar7's are a stiffer ski. If you want buttery you should have gone with thalls

Yeah they are expensive, but worth it. Maybe find a good sale and you will be good. Those are the best bindings you can get though.

Sth 12 drivers should do the job just fine! The driver toe is much better than the normal toe
