Has anyone skied both of these skis?
If so, what are the main on-snow (and in the air) differences between the two?

animatorMoment feels easier to pivot/quicker edge to edge, Reckoner feels more stable in chop/not ideal conditions. Moment has better edge hold, Reckoner has a lower swing weight. That’s my take on the two!
abar.Thanks, surprised to hear the reckoner is more stable as I thought it was softer. Which line did you mount it on?

Bended_ToenailI thought the DWs were more stable in chop than the Reckoners, but the Reckoners were definitely stiffer on-foot than they were hand flexing them it seemed like.
OP: I love the Deathwishes (as I'm sure a lot of people have seen me mention), and I would choose them over the Reckoners for aggressive riding and more playful riding in most cases. I thought they were pretty similar skis though, so it's really just preference.
abar.Do you mount the Deathwishes on the line? Probably gonna go with those as they seem sick enough to be worth the price difference unless someone sells me on another ski
