Narrowed it down to these to skis, Just a couple questions need to be answered for me to make the final decision!
Which ski is more poppy?
Which ski is more buttery?
Which ski has a better rail game?
Which is softer?
Which is less likely to catch while doing a swap on rails?

If I could get some replys that would be great so I could make an order this week. Thanks!

Honestly, both are great skis, so i would just get which ever one you can get for the cheapest.

Catching on a rail is your own fault haha, both skis are very similar and I want to say that the jib tw are a little more but tier but I'm not positive. I would just go with the cheaper one or whatever one you think looks cooler haha

The t-halls are in between being stiff and being soft(more stiff though), but have butter zones, so they can butter pretty well for how stiff they are, which makes them a little bit softer. Scott TWs is a stiffer ski, but does not have butter zones, so they won't butter well at all, but they are more poppy than the T-halls. Also the T-halls haven't changed in at least 4 years, so if you buy them then it won't matter if you buy this years or last years or even the ones from the year before that, they will still be exactly alike(if they are new at least), just buy the ones that are cheapest.

it will still have good pop, just not as much as the TW because it isn't as stiff.

I have ridden a pair of THalls from my friend and they did not impress me in any way. barely any pop, super dead feeling, sluggish, and just overall a pretty bland ski. the flex was the only cool thing imo. I have not ridden the TW's but I have seen many people using them and I have a few friends with them and they love them.

T halls are heavy and no pop! I would go with t walls because they are lighter and more playful

Twall comes in at 3.5 pounds per ski
T-hall weighs in at 3.9 per ski in like size

Twall feels lighter in the swing weight and has more energy. Thall is a little plankier but can set a nice edge in the hard pack.

I think I'll go with the Scott's. No pop makes me sick to my stomach.

t hall is a fucking awesome ski, nothing bad I can say. Some highlights are the pop, durability, thick edges, and swing weight
