I recently acquired a pair of scott jib tws, in a 178 and one if my friends offered to trade them for a pair of pipe cleaners in a 178. I am using them strictly for park, no mtn skiing. I looked and the specs of the TW and the PC are fairly similar, with the TW's specs being 114 86 108. And the PC's are 118 85 108. I am 5'8" 135lbs. Which would be easier on rails? And does the wider tip on the PC effect switch skiing?

I may have posed the question wrong, i am wondering what the differences between the two will be, if any such as rails, stiffness, pop, switch skiing etc

Also, i will be hitting 35' jumps MAX so which will be better for rails? i heard the PC is a little more buttery compared to the TW, anyone know if this is true?

The TW will be softer than the Pipe Cleaners so they are probably better for buttering. Overall the Pipe Cleaner is a little softer than the ar7. Here is a review of the Scott Jib. Overall, I would keep the scott jibs if I were you.
