Thank you for your reply :)

Yeah the problem is that my injury is preventing me from using full force on ski's for buttering. That's why i need more flex. My current ski's are 171cm Faction's (can't remember the model).

Anyone else got some ideas?

I would highly recommend the dollos for this season through armada they are known as the "noddle" so that would be perfect. I ride on them and I love them.

Thanks a lot, but I suppose that theres is a difference in flex between Armada models? I mean, not all Armada ski's have the same flex?

The dollos have the highest overall flex, 4 flex in the tip 5 in center and 6 in the tail. They are extremely soft and a 98 underfoot I believe. I rode on them for 2 years this year being my 3rd season on the new ones. I am extremely happy for them.

Cool, I will probably get those then. Where did you find the flex information?

Thank you so much for your help!

Cool thanks, just found my own skis on evo.com (Faction Silas 2015) - apparently they are also really stiff. Explains my problems.

Hi again,

So I have decided to get either the Armada BDOGS (2017) or the Armada EDOLLO. I'm at a loss for which to pick though. I'm 190cm's tall and the BDOGS only come up to 179cm, which seems a bit short. However they have a lot more flex than the EDOLLO's (3,5 - 5 - 4,5) vs (4,5 - 5 - 5). In your opinion, should I get the BDOGS at length 179cm or the EDOLLO's at length 188cm?

I know it's hard for you to decide, but I'd like some input.

Also the BDOGS have an AR Freestyle Rocker (tip & tail) where the EDOLLO's only have Nose Rocker.

TL:DR edit: Are the BDOG's too short for me?

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, editing posts isnt really a thing on here haha.

As for your question, I'd go with the 188cm Edollos. You'll probably flex out the Bdogs and not be able to press as far due to their lack in legnth. Also, you don't need much tail rocker to do tail butters so the Edollos will work fine.

If you are questioning the Edollos, I'd recommend taking a look at the Icelantic Da'Nollies, J Skis Whip-Its, and the Vishnu Wet skis. All are in my opinion a better option than the Edollo and I can promise you that the Whip-Its are some of the softest skis on the market. I'd go for any of these skis before the Edollos because Small Company > Large Company is my preference.

We have all the major brands in the shop I work at...that said the line honey badgers have the softest overall flex closely followed by the blends. Waaay softer than both the bdogs, dollos, vishnus and about every other ski!

jskis whipits are insanely soft/light. only thing is they have mixed reviews as far as durability goes. I personally havent had any problems though.

new bdog are softer then edollos, but you being 6'3 and you def weigh more then i do so buttering around any skis won't be that hard at for ya. but for you being 6'3 i'd go with the arv skis. unless you jus want a ski that is real noodle feel and when you get seat back on landing you prob going to wash out. id go in the 180 range of length

I have last year's armada b dogs and I definitely would recommend them. The pivot point on the nose is perfect. Something to mention: I'm pretty sure the tails are stiffer and definitely more narrow than the noses.

Not even close. All of us in the shop were blown away by their stiffness. Not 2x4s by any means, but far from their claims.

Hey,

Sorry I've been away. A lot of shit went down in this thread in-between.

So I'm currently looking at the BDOG's or EDOLLOS still. I just can't decide which to get. I want the softer flex on the BDOG, but I'm still afraid if it's too short at 179cm when I'm 190cm tall.

I'm pretty shit at buttering, so the extra flex and perhaps shorter length would help. Although my boot size is 32,5 so they take up half of the frikkin' ski.

- Thanks for the feedback. Think I'll call the local shop and get their opinion on it.

Still: BDOG vs. EDOLLO's for buttering is the big question. I'll also look at the Line Honey Badgers, since they are maybe even softer?

Personally i think the 179 would be a bit small for you. Im a shorter guy but i have gigantic feet, so i usually have to go with the longer ski for my height. So keep that into consideration

I think if your ski is shorter, it might be better for buttering. You can get your weight on your nose with more ease. Mind you I'm not a physics expert. It's just my guess.

Lame

I am thinking about selling my 11/12 line bacons, 184cm. they are super soft and scary at high speed but perfect for mucking around on. very pressable tips and tails, especially now as they are pretty noodled out - i'm 6'4 and the length is fine for me. mounted on pollard's line with griffins.
pm me a price!
