Invaders vs T-Halls

Hey, I was planning on getting Invaders but I got some extra money from Christmas and am wondering if it would be better to get T-Halls since they sound like more durable Invaders? Basically is it worth the $200ish (ouch) price difference?

Okay, yea, I don't mind spending 200 more if I'm going to get my money's worth. You said they're not comparable though? They seem similar being soft with flex points. T-halls aren't symmetrical, or is there a bigger difference I'm missing? Or do you mean their construction is incomparably different?

Okay, so it's their construction is different and that affects how they ski and the durability, I think. Are there any park skis like an Invader that are more learning-friendly than T-halls? I've been skiing for a long time, but I've just started doing park this year and I plan on progressing fast. Basically, I'm not sure if I should get high-end skis like T-Halls if I'm not incredibly good yet.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. The invaders sound like a lot of fun, but I'm kind of rough of my skis, my PEs have a lot of gashes on the top sheet (I've been messy learning spins and grabs, the ptex top sheet on the 06s doesn't help either), so I think I would kill off a pair of invaders really fast.

Have not heard a bad thing about the new T Halls at all. Theyll hold their own outside the parkizzle too.

Yes, because we all know, 5 runs is the perfect amount of time needed ot get an opinion of a ski. T-Halls are awesome. Ive ridden mine about a total of 7 days, and they are a ton of fun!

5 runs is enough for any ski the only thing more skiing on em would test would be the durability....

Haha, this thread got kind of crazy. Anyway, I think I'm going to get the T-Halls, I want something that's softer with flex points. The Scratches sound nice, but I want something softer. The Scratches aren't too much cheaper anyway, $50 less at my local shop. And even if I'm paying for Tanner's weed, I'd probably be paying for someone else's at Rossi if I bought the Scratches too. Thanks for your opinions.

im lovin my t-halls too. i have used 04/05 ones, but they are only little narrower. and they arent THAT soft. they are def. a durable ski. for extra $200, you can ride 2 more seasons with them.

good, I think I'll get them then. most of the shit about them delaming is probably not that common (I hope). this reminds me of the time when everybody on ns was bashing the 1080's

i love my new 07 invaders, they are durbale, the edges are super beefy, ive hit a good amount of rails and you cant even tell. they are really fun and surfy feeling, they are soft and butter like none other, there a really good ski in my opinion.
