Can't. Fucking. Decide.

we do not know what terrain you are skiing, skill level, size, etc.

Sorry for the lack of information, I wasn't looking for personal advice: I already know how each of these skis would work for me. I want to hear what people who ride on the 2014 models have to say about the skis (personal opinions).

I have the Recoil and I think it's an awesome ski. Super durable, its the only ski I've had where I didn't lose any edge underfoot after a season. Also is an awesome ski for outside of the park. Not too soft where it gets chattery and it holds an edge well. Pretty stiff which is awesome for jumps, but if you want something a little more playful go for the domain.

exactly what my buddy who rides the recoils for this year has said.

im on this years domains and love them so far. i had the 2011s for 2 years, no edge pullouts. tail broke open from to many tail taps but that was on me. id probably still be riding on them if that didnt happen. really soft ski once you break them in a little. great on rails, extruded base is nice for extra durability but needs wax more often to stay up to speed.

I have recoils and they are alright IMO. They are pretty stiff and heavy, but charge hard. They are great all over the mountain but if you want a playful ski for rails and jumps that aren't ridiculously huge, get the domains.

Domains are a shitstorm for anything that is off-piste and frozen solid. That said, i've only had one day on them. Other than frozen-solid crud they are amazing. Amazingly playful and buttery.
