Blizzard Rustler 9 vs Line Chronic?

Can someone describe the differences between the rustler 9 and the line chronic. I know that the chronic is softer and probably better suited for park skiing, but by how much? Which one is better for carving? And which one is best for speed?

I want a ski that I can do technical turns on but also being great in the park for some backflips, 360's and 540's, and hitting rails.

Do you have any other suggestions on other skis that are better suited for my needs, if so please post them down below.

Thanks

Alvin
 
The Rustler is a very Soul 7, dad or rental-esque ski. It’s not a freestyle oriented ski and it’s not especially great on hard snow either. The Chronic is a decent ski, you won’t be ripping GS turns on ice but it can hold its own on groomers

What ski would you recommend for ski, for carving but also being playful/park ski.

The Poacher, CT 1.0 or the PB&J

But the rustler 9 turns better than for example the CT 1.0. And the rustler 9 is still a pretty playful/forgiving ski because it doesn't have metal in the tips and tails.

It’s not as good on ice and really hard snow. I own a CT1 and I’ve skied the Rustler 9 and the CT is better at just about everything. The Rustler 9 is soft but that doesn’t mean it’s playful. It’s soft because it’s meant for people who don’t ski very much/want a really easy, forgiving ski. The mount point is also about 7 back from center so it won’t be fun at all in the park
