So this summer i was looking on some cheap ski sales and i came across some line blends . They were super cheap like 350$ so i got them but the problem is that i could either get 171 or 195 . Im 6 foot 2 and 220 lbs so i got the 171 because 195 is just too dam big. I got them in the mail and they were small comparing to my 184 atomic patents . Question is are they to small do you think for my size and shape ?

Also thinking about getting the Armada alpha x's? are they as playful and buttery as the blends ?
 
There are better deals than 350 for incorrect sized lines... I saw some al dente's for $320 new the other day. A couple of seasons ago, I got a pair of ninthward HHP's for like $120 and they're some of my favorite skis, still going strong. Hate to possibly come off as a dick but if you look on sites likehttp://www.theclymb.com/ andhttps://www.levelninesports.com/ you'll find good shit for cheap. Also I highly suggest using promotive.com if you would qualify for an account. There are some crazy cheap top of the line stuff there. Hope this helps!
 
Also, look at BST here. Ive found my best deals here. I paid $325 shipped for a brand new pair of Armada Pipe Cleaners and $175 for a brand new pair of FKS140s. Lots of new stuff is sold. You just have to check it often
 
Yeah I'm 6' even and 145 and I ski 185 opuses, definitely should have gone larger assuming you are an aggressive skier.

depends if you're using them for powder or park.

No it doesn't. 171 is way too short for him either way. 195 may not be a great length for park, but there's no way he can ski a 171 ski anywhere.
