So right now I have the armada arvs 96 I used to ride the line hb I haven't really enjoyed the arvs that much since they're not as flexible and playful so I need some ideas for other skiis that are flexible I have looked at line blend and bdogs but not sure what to settle with

those are both insanely soft. check out stuff like the chronic or the reckoner 102 perhaps before dropping big cash on such a niche-type ski

Same weight as the arv 96.

how many days do you have? I felt the same on my faction CT 1.0s for a few days. Once you get the niche of the flex and shape you’ll probably like it. But I did demo the arv 96 and didn’t like it as well.

miss me with any line ski product, if you want something more playful maybe vishnu keys??? they're still soft but would hold up in the tail compared to blends which have absolutely no support. also don't let bdog's skiing fool you his ski aren't soft.

Yeah that's true but Vishnu isn't in Norway and it's difficult to get
