I need new skis, cannot decide between these 4 skis, i only ride park, and im about %70 rails, and %30 jumps, i like a low swing weight. My last pair of skis were edollos, and im 6ft 3 and 180 pounds, and i ride very hard.

I was able to get a few days on the tom wallisch pros. They are not symmetrical so the swing weight is a little wacky. They ski like a monster compares to all my prior center mounted park skis, but it sounds like these are not the ones for you.


When it comes to hitting rails, the ski dosen't make a big difference imo. You may want some flex so you can butter on...

Probably ON3P Magnus. They’re asymmetrical but the swingweight doesn’t feel like it’s an asymmetrical ski. And they’re not heavy. The huge rocker is going to help with swaps on rails. And they ride like a beast.

This. OP look at the whipits for sure. They’re super light, can butter decently well, and are close to symmetrical. Could be a very good fit. Out of the ones you picked the Magnus would work well. It was mentioned that the rocker helps for swaps and if you ride mostly rails I think you’d have fun on a wider platform so check the Magnus 102. They’re suitable not only for rails, but solid for all mountain skiing too.
