Well depends on what you want/ how aggressive you are etc...,, Domains are rockered, pretty soft, good jib ski (would go a lil longer than usual, especially if you are still growing due to the rocker and center mount) Masterminds are suuper light, good all mtn, medium stiffish. I have the El Reys, they have been great for me, work well center mounted (or darn close), are generally stiff, light and durable as hell (at least mine have been bombproof for me. But look into each ski online, read reviews etc...and good luck.

Domain is the better ski of the 3 you're asking about if price isn't an issue.

The mastermind is a piece of shit, this should be between the domain and el ray.

The domain is a good jib stick and the el ray is more of an all mountain ski. If you ride predominately in the park then buy the domain you will not be dissispointed but if you ride outside the park as well buy the el ray because it kills it in both places.

masterminds are a sick set of sticks in and out of the park, and ski perfect center mounted!

the el ray is up there to, but not as much of a jib ski as mastermind or domain, its more all mountain and has a much stiffer flex then the MM and domain.

get domain if u have money and ski all park and get it a little long, mastermind if u ski 80-90% park and center mount it, el ray if u like stiffer ski and ski 60-80% park.
