Hey guys, so i'm 5'8" and 120lbs

I'm just purchasing a pair of atomic punx, what length would you guys recommend?

They come in 170s and 176s

Thanks!

Having trouble getting the ski I'm looking for in the 170 model, do you guys think the 176 would be a bit cumbersome? how much swing weight would it add?

Thanks
