Do pros have a different base for ON3P FR?

Noticed that pros' FRs have different bases than my FR. Is this a pro version thing or did the base graphic change slightly during the season? I have an old one I think, with the serial number saying it's like #73
 
Its not actually a different base but a different base graphic, there is no difference between your base and the bases the pros use. ON3P let their pro's choose what graphics they want hence some ski with the new FR graphic on the Presters.
 
You might be seeing some older FR's, or even an older base graphic that they want to get rid of. Or special requests.

It's all the same material.
 
Different graphic probably. There are always rumors about pros having a different version of a ski like Andy Mayre has stiffer hellbent and Max hill has softer abangs but all these rumors are false. 99 percent of the time pros ski the skis off the shelf
 
I know on3p, because they are hand made individually, lets their pros change them slightly. For example, rory McCabe (not on the pro team but gets hooked up I think) has ft's with slightly more camber than the normal ones
 
The team skis on next years skis, and usually each ski is made a little bit differently, slightly different dimensions or constructions for them to test out before the model is finalized. Different graphics help the factory crew distinguish different pairs, and also serves as some measure of theft prevention for the team - should one of their pairs get jacked, its much harder for the thief to move a unique ski without notice.
 
Yours are probably defective. Send them to me and I'll despose of them properly for you, free of charge
 
oh yeah i meant the graphic, not the base material.

mine's marked #73 so that's probably why it's slightly different from the ones i see on the edits (not just the pros).

thanks all
