Voyage86wild cat 101 sounds to directional for you. go jeff
colerichardmyersYeah? I didn't think it'd be that different from the Jeffrey 100. MP is -5 (probably could go up +1 or +2) with similar weight. I imagine the Jeffrey might be a bit less stiff though. Lot of fanboys for Moments lately which has mean leaning more to ON3P anyways.
Voyage86ya the ski itself isn’t super directionaly shaped but the mount point is. on the jeff you could for sure get away with -2 from center or whatever you please but i’ve heard from people in the moment factory that no one there rides the 101 more than +1 from rec.

animator-5 isn’t “too directional” lol it makes for a ski that stays composed and tracking at speed and still allows for a balanced and neutral feel when paired with a freestyle shape like the Wildcat. Clearly you haven’t heard squat from anyone at Moment either because plenty of staff and team riders bump it up to +2 like @hot.pocket said
colerichardmyersYeah I was wondering this myself. I am not sure when -5 became too directional. Plenty of high level skiers are hitting just about everything on the mountain with -5, -6, -7, etc. I think I am less concerned about the mount vs the differences in the skis in terms of playfulness, pop, ability to slash, composure on landings..was hoping someone would be able to speak to that.

Voyage86nah, i personally would not mount a ski that i intend to do more than an occasional 360 on at -5.
animatorOk but your personal choice does not dictate fact about ski design theory brother
WhaddupI mean you could mount Jeff's 2 back or skinny cats 2 up. Blister says -6 from true center is pretty much the sweet spot for a lot of people and that the moments carve better 🤷♀️
colerichardmyersMy Praxis skis are at -6 and are similar to the WC 108 (a bit stiffer maybe). It’s a sweet spot for most of what I do on a bigger ski like that, but this next ski will be for the sake of being able to spin around, land switch, hit some park laps, etc. while also using it all mountain. With that I lean towards the Jeff with a more center mount.
Also fascinated with the Elan Playmaker 101.. just like the look and the few videos are prime riding them have been awesome.
Voyage86the play maker 101 is light but i see videos all the time of people blasting through crud on them going mach 10. i really wana demo them and see what’s up. i think they are sick.
