TW Pros or Jeffrey 96

[Benjamin_Dunz25]

I want to know what skis I should get. I am thinking of the TW Pro or Jeffrey 96. I ride almost all park and ride the parks at Seven Springs and Snowshoe. I am looking for a ski that will not wash out on me when I hit big jumps.

Ive got 186 kartel 96s and they are some of the most stable skis ove ever ridden

Ok thanks so much for the info

I have some Kartel 98's, great ski! I highly recommend any of the ON3P lineup.

 

[Benjamin_Dunz25]

Are there any other park skis you would recommend

 

[SuckleBrick]

Bent Chetler 100 for sure

 

[oldmanski]

I think most manufactures make a decent park ski. ON3P offers the custom graphic option if you are into being a little different than everyone else

I find it really tough to justify the cost of ON3Ps for dedicated park skiing. I have a pair that I rip all mountain, and I love them. But I would never use them as a park ski. One bad crash and your $700 skis are shot. Lines are just so cheap and work really well. For park, I have been on a pair of TW Pros for a whole season, and theyre holding up great. I ski at Springs and hit the jumps in the Spot regularly. The TW Pros are plenty stable for that size jump.

The only thing I don’t know is a lot of people say that on3ps are super durable

Lol park at Snowshoe.

Umm...you picked some very different skis there. For starters, the Jeffery 96 is 6mm wider at the waist (which is a fairly considerable amount). The Jeffery is going to have much more rocker and will feel softer in the tip and tail but stiffer underfoot. The TW Pro is a pure park ski, the early taper will give it a quicker turn radius. Neither will wash out on big jumps, that for sure. The TW pro will be a bit quicker to swing around on rails, the Jeffery will be a bit more stable at speed and will be much preferred in fresh snow. If you're looking for quick swaps on rails go TW pro, if your looking for a wider ski that will be fun if it snows but can also kill it in the park, go Jeffery.

Very Different? 6mm game changer? Not really man.

I mean, feel free to elaborate in your disagreement. But, when talking about park skis, 6mm is a substantial difference. It will increase the overall weight and the TW will have a lower swing weight because it is closer to symmetrical than the Jeffery. If you don’t feel like these skis are that different than that’s on you, but others would disagree.

With the overall width / shape being quite a bit different & the ON3P’s having much more aggressive rocker profiles I’d agree with Bwalmer that these are in fact very different skis.

The TWP’s would be better compared to something like the Prester if ON3P still had em in the line

 

[CalumSKI]

if you are looking for durable skis around that waist width why dont you look at poachers

stable at speeds, good for all mountain and park, great ski all around

 

[_Jeffrey_]

If you are riding all park get the magnus 90's.

TWs are fairly stiff and pretty light. They aren’t fully symmetrical but 95% of people on them wouldn’t notice. You can thrash them decent on slopes, and put an edge down at fairly high speeds for a park ski. They’re even decent in bumps/crud as long as you don’t try to steamroll through it
