Whipit on Groomers?

How does the J Skis Whiptit perform on groomers? I am looking for a park specific ski that I could work on small to medium jumps and still have fun w on groomers with a 75/25 park/groomer split. The stomp-it-tutorials channel said it was "not very fun in the slope" and was "well suited for the park but no where else". I think they did a great review and value these guy's opinions but I would like to know what others think as well.

I have no experience with them but I would consider taking a look at the Masterblaster.
And I would recommend you the Black Crows Captis. Or if you want to get a little more in pow, Black Crows Camox.

I've skiing my whipits for about a month now and they're great on groomers. I would maybe suggest the allplay if you want more of a do it all ski

I rode center mounted 178s around on groomers for a little bit and they were doable but you cant really lay into carves hard without slipping out. Their flexy nature make them rough on hardpack so if you are considering just ripping groomers 1/4 of the time then definitely size up.
