I think the answer you're looking for is...yesnomaybesortasometimes.
Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people.

so basically i lost my penis trying to have sex with my cat.

I got a new pair of Chronics last week, so far I am not that thrilled with the setup. I am going to give them another 2 days on the snow and if I am not trilled they are going back. Granted I have only skied them 3 times, but it only took me one run to be thrilled with my pocket rockets. To be fair though, I think a lot of my dislike is coming from the Reactor bindings.

I now wonder if the R12 binding made the ski feel stiffer than it really was. I think if I mounted a set of Look or Salomom bindings it may have better flex.

I doubt you would have liked the flex with a different binding. I ride the Mike Nick's, which are about the same flex as the Chrons. I used to have Salomon bindings on them and now have Reactors. I actually have more flex now than when I had the Salomons on them.

The Chrons are kind of a stiffer park ski and not everyone likes that. The Invader will be the solution to that.

yes the chrons are a very stiff ski i was out 2 days ago with a friend that jus got the gold edition chronics with reactors and he had barely any flex i leaned back on the tail of my 04 salo 1080's and he did too and his nose didnt even rise. i suggest not gettin the chrons or reactors maybe go for the assasins if u really like line

The reactor actualy allows the ski to flex as much if not more than most bindings on the market.

I have the 177 chronics on some p10s. I'm 140lbs and I can't butter them at all. I got them in December 04. They are stiff, but there are super stable on the landings. I take them out on the mountain every now and then and they don't chatter at all. As for rails, the edges and base are holding up fine. I spend 80% of the time on rails. So far so good.
