So I'm trying to decide between thalls, tc's, or after bangs for next season. I want a ski that will be real easy to just learn back and stay in a butter for a long time. Which on of these skis would be the softest/flexiest? Any and all replies are appreciated.

Before any opinions can be formed we will need your weight, height, skiing ability, where you ski and price range.

Take it from the fool who bought them, Afterbangs are soooo stiff.

It sounds like you need these

Thanks for letting me know that. Would joysticks be softer than tc's or blends?

TC are soft, but have absolutely terrible durability.

So if tc's have bad durability that's a no go. What ski would be very soft but be durable at the same time? Because I have heard AF line skis breaking very easily
