So I'm making a thread for a friend of mine. He's 5"9', weights 176 pounds and skis 90% park. He's struggeling to choose between the armada ar7 and thall. What are the differences between those two. What length should he take? +k too all

SEARCH BAR. But the thall is basically the same thing as the ar7 just softer.

As said before, the ar7 is the same ski just stiffer than the thall meaning the ar7 might be slightly better on jumps and thall slightly better on rails. Good sizes would be 171 or 176, but it really comes down to personal preference for the size.

Im looking at a pair of AR7's. It will be my new ski to go with my new ACL!!!! Would be good for some advice on the length to go for, I am 5'9 165, im looking at the 171 or the 176.

How does the ski perform length wise? Do they ski short? Thinking with the new knee that the shorter length would be a better idea perhaps?

Thats what I have. tall enough to hold up on jumps, and short enough for good swing.

Same questions as above. I'm 6ft and 160lb. Think I'd probably prefer the T-Halls (even though I'm not a fan of this whole "Ski-Boss" thing) as they're more buttery and I've never had a problem with stability for kickers. So glad to be moving on from my 2008-9 Public enemies though!
