Faction Prodigy 1.0 2019 Preview

Newschoolers' Quick Review:
I spent a whole summer in Zermatt on the Prodigy and, while it's a stiffer ski than I generally like, I was stoked on it for the most part. With a short radius and generous rocker they are super quick on rails, and they have a pretty low-swingweight for technical tricks. The stiff flex keeps them stable on landings and durablity wise, they don't seem to suffer the issues that the some of Factions skis without beefed up edges seem to suffer. Not one for the swervy skiers but a fun, versatile park ski. - Twig

Manufacturer's Description:
This Poplar-cored, freestyle twin, has buckets of pop and flex while maintaining real performance on the downhill. Rebelling against symmetrical park ski tradition, the directional shape of the Prodigy 1.0 ensures that you have more control throughout your turn, whether that's carving in switch to a 40-foot booter or hand-dragging into a wavey trail feature. The wider shovel and Surf Zone tech means that you can easily blend those carves into butters. XL 2.2mm edges, thicker bases, and full Cap tips and tails ensure a bombproof set of sticks that lay the tracks for a modern-day, do-it-all park skis.
