skied the 189s two weeks ago on a three-foot day at alpine...not to shabby!
much better control than my old spatulas...sick ski, not for everyone...
As long as I did not look at them I felt fine skiing fast, as soon as I looked down and saw how much the tip was flexing it made me mentally speed check myself (we are talking about strgt line speeds through end of day chop)....but it was mostly mental....
Btw...so easy to stick larger airs...there was absolutly no deceleration when landing in pow, POOF you just land and ski away
