Which full tilt model?

Right now I have the TW Pros and the flex is a 6/90, They’re a year old and I feel like I’m starting to leak out of the boot when I’m going down fast and steep. I know they aren’t made for that but last year they were doing fine. So now I’m looking for a stiffer model that’s good for glades and speed while also being solid in the park. I’m thinking about the first chair 8’s or the 10’s. Anyone know if there’s a massive difference in flex between the two? Which one would be the better move? Or should I be looking at a different model? Thanks

You can just get a stiffer tongue if the rest of the boot is working for you

I really like the Tom Wallisch boots. They fit perfect and the flex is also perfect

I have the first chair 10s. The flex isn’t overly stiff. I’d say about the same as my 110 Dalbellos. I’d go to the 10s if I were you. Then it’s always easy to go stiffer or softer by swapping the tongues.

Just buy a stiffer tongue, nothing will be different in a first chair 8 or 10 except the color and the tongue that comes with it. Save yourself 500 bucks

Definitely not a $500 difference between the 8 and 10.

Oh no no I meant save 500 dollars by buying a stiffer tongue rather than a whole new boot

Went with the 8’s, also went down a size. Huge difference, literally couldn’t be happier. Thanks boys next time I’ll just get a new tongue
