Baller oldskigal70 Posted August 25, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm skiing on a 66" D3 X7 (2010) and I have no complaints but possibly it is time for a new or new-used ski. I'm hoping to make the course at 30 mph, -28 in W-8 division this season. I'm close .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldskigal70 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted August 25, 2017 I meant to ask if anyone had a recommendation for a ski I ought to try. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted August 25, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2017 My buddy is a Men 8 skier and has had great success on a 2014 HO Superlite TX the past two seasons. He found a great deal on a leftover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopowpow Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I went from a D3 Z7 to a Radar Vapor Graphite this season. I'm 57 and skiing 28-32 mph and really like it. It's softer flexing and more forgiving than the Lithium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 25, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2017 If you like the D3 feel, maybe give D3 a call and talk to them about recommendations for you. They have a great demo program, and since the X7 has treated you well, wouldn't hurt to check it out. I personally love my D3 ARC. But I don't think I am qualified to recommend a specific ski for you to try. Paul and/or Kari over at D3 would be glad to help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldskigal70 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks for ideas! Today I rode a Connelly GT just because it was available, not because it is the direction I should go...it is at its best 34-36 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MillerTime38 Posted August 26, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2017 @oldskigal70 let me know if you want to get rid of that x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldskigal70 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yes, I will let you know! It's a great ski, but I'm thinking something with a wider tail may help me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted August 26, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2017 You might want to try an HO S2. There is a woman that skis with us about the same speed and line length and loves hers. Unless you are looking for new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DavidN Posted August 26, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2017 Since you are used to D3, try one of their new skis! You can demo the ARC (I would recommend the softer flex aka ARC-S) and the new NRG. It has a little bit wider tail than the ARC. D3 offers the best demo program on the market! Let them ship both skis to you and if you like one of them, keep it. Otherwise just re-pack them, put the return label on the box and have fedex pick them up at your door. I switched from a X7 to the ARC-S last year and instantly liked it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
