the best help would be to search the forums in the upper right hand corner of your screen and you'll find plenty of threads on what you're looking for. if you still don't have all your questions answered then feel free to ask

the scratchs are a lil softer and have a wood core, the scratch fs have a different core and a differnt base too, they both ski great in and out of the park so, it really depends on what you wanna ski and how much you wanna spend

The FS has a THC core (wood, microcell, and isocore, which makes a snappy, durable, and light core), it has a die cut base, and in the past has been the same demensions as the regular scratch.

Now, (05-06) the fs is differant demensions from the new sprayer fs(which took place of the regular scratch)

Sprayer is slightly softer with an all wood core, where as the scratch is stiffer and burleyer.

the core difference....does that mean the regular scratch is less durable than the fs?..or is it more to do with pop/edge-carving than that?

The core stucture will change the pop of the ski. The all wood core will be softer and more buttery. The hybrid core will be much stiffer and have a lot more pop. Which ski you want all depneds on what kind of ski you like to ride.

don't forget that since the scratch fs have some foam in the core they will start to lose their pop eventually
