flex points moved in on Thalls closer to the binding, making butters easier and them have a softer feel while skiing. (that's the 09s of both, before 09 Thalls were total noodles).  Won't carve quite as well though, and less forgiving when landing backseat/forward seat than PCs or AR6s.

This is helpful for anyone looking to see the differences between Armadas...obviously its kind of the dumbed down version to tell you whats up but still helpful. Just scroll over the particular skis to see they're "stats."

definitely 09s, they can still butter super easily but don't wash out super easily on jumps like older versions did.  I could lift up the tips on 07s a ton using just the basket of my pole.  Both can be fun, though.   I would say:  Pipe Cleaners if you want the stiffest fastest of the 3(the bases will be fine on rails), AR6s if you want a slightly softer but slightly heavier PC with flex points in the same spot, and Thalls if you want a butterlicious ski for a park without really big jumps or a good pipe and lots of rails.  All those are 09s, the Thalls and AR6s were totally different in 08.

I would not say that they are noodles. I have them and if you don't do huge jumps they will not be too soft. Alos, the tail is stiffer that the front to make them poppy so for bigger jumps it helps.

thats good.  I mostly remembered the tip softness standing out over other skis.  If you are good at landing centered when landing both forward and especially switch than I bet they would be fine.
