Best park skis?

Looking for a pure park ski. A ski meant for only park skiing and nothing else. Have been debating between the Tom wallisch pro, chronics, and blends. Leaning toward the twp. What would you guys get? Any better options out there? I ski mostly rails but also want something that’s playful and capable on jumps
 
More info would help, such as your height and weight, as well as where you ski, what underfoot size is too much or too little, how stiff of a ski you're lookin for, etc

6ft, 140lb. Not much underfoot preference. And wnat a ski that’s soft enough to butter but stiff enough to send it off jumps
 
If you wait a bit the new 90mm k2’s that the comp skiers ride look so sick

TW pros

vishnu keys (their “traditional” park ski)

dont get the chronics for pure park

while typing this i checked and the revolt 90s were just released, on evo for 599

I currently have Armada arv 96. They great skis but my only problem is their swing weight feels way to heavy

I think I’m going to get the TW pros. They check basically all the boxes for me and are surprisingly cheap. I found them for 430 with tax and shipping. Now I have to decide what length. I’m 6ft so I was going to get the 178 but I’m thinking about the 171 since I wnat the lowest swing weight I can get. I don’t send it super big off jumps so I don’t feel like I need much extra stability. I’m more of a rail guy. Would the 171 be way to small?

Go 178, even thats a little small for you for a daily driver ski but for a dedicated park ski (sorry for all the buzzwords) thats probably good. 171 is way too short.

since youre pretty light you could get away with attacks or griffon bindings at 8-9 DIN

The atomic punx 7 are also a cheap pure park ski, NS hates on them, ive never ski’d them, but a lot of pro comp skiers use them

No way. They’re amazing. The flex isn’t a damp/tired feeling flex, it’s a super responsive and poppy type of flex. Light as a feather on rails too. The lightness in the swing weight totally blew my mind coming off some old armadas. Highly recommend.

Ya your right 171 would be way to small. I ordered the 178 and I have some marker griffins already

Also 178 is surprisingly the largest they make that ski

What's the deal on this new ski? First I'm hearing..don't think i've seen anything in new gear hype thread
 
I've been called a Clydesdale of a skier, and I ski on the chronics and they're the funnest park ski I've ever owned

I think they do just fine on jumps. I jump off everything n don’t have an issue with the softness on landings.
