I know there's already a thread on this so don't tell me to use the search bar because it's from 2 years ago and the PUNX construction and stiffness has changed, so.

I'm 5'8" I ski mainly park but like to rip it up in the groomers every now and then, I weigh 130lbs and I need a fairly light ski with a mediumish flex nothing crazy.

I've narrowed it down to these two baby's:

ATOMIX PUNX vs ARMADA AR7s

Which ones? I've heard slot of good about the PUNX and I'm slightly leaning towards them, just a bit concerned about the stiffness, a lot of people say it's fairly soft, others say it's pretty stiff, I'm pretty sure it has a progressive stiffness though in the tip and tails
 
AR7 is the standard. I'd go with the standard. plus once you slide a bunch of rails on the punx they feel like dull popsicle sticks.
 
Are you worried about having a stiff'ish ski? I mean the AR7's are stiff compared to some other options out there.

I have last years AR7's and they are beast. On the stiffer side. Have massive beefy edges. Still in mint condition after about 20 days on them in the park. Will definitely buy another pair when/if these ones ever blow up.
 
Im riding this years AR7s this year and I love them. After a few weeks I got the tips pretty soft by just buttering around. They are pretty stiff for landings on jumps so you dont fall out on them like I see people do on skis like the Line Afterbangs. Yet they are still pretty soft to butter around and press everywhere. Cant wait to continue my season on them.

i went withthe ar7's b/c of the extra edge hold from the full camber

the flex is perfect, the tails are burly but do have some give to them, im sure that once theyve broken in theyll be perfect, they have a hell of a lot of pop and the tips have more pop then the shovel of any other ski ive been on, riding switch didnt take too long to get used to (coming from a symetric ski) the tips can flex out if u land with almost all ur weight on them, unless they pop off first....

ive ridden the punx also, im glad i got the ar7
