with the new tip shape would it be un wise to mismatch a 2022 wet or any older wet with the new ones? would it be a noticeable difference?

Dawg, we just found out about the new tips yesterday... How do you expect us to have any information?
But yeah, it would be unwise to go skiing with two different skis if the difference is anything but cosmetic.

its a very small difference. i see people mismatch a beat to shit poacher or vishnu with a new model of the same ski. it's probably not that much different then my idea.

It is. The people doing that are skiing two skis of the exact same design besides the top sheet. I’ve done it on liberty transfers that were a year apart because they had the same specs. Seems like Vishnu made changes to the profile of the wet, therefore it shouldn’t be paired with a different ski (the old wet).

ik, but having a poacher thats beat to shit thats from 2016 and then having a 2022 one thats brand new is prolly similar to my question, the beat up one is probably different bc its messed up. i shouldve just thought before making this thread my bad

Idk dude, I spent an entire season on mismatched skis, one Armada, and one Liberty. They were both cambered skis, but different lengths. I honestly felt it was totally fine and couldn't really feel the difference. Do whatever you want homie
