@JeremyJames The Carbon V is the way to go, we have put alot of skiers on this ski, from intermediate course skiers, to a Mens 8 who has won National titles in 4 age divisions at 30, 32 and 34 mph. As was stated, it was patterned after the Prophecy and tuned similar to the GT, it is our "Go To" stick for most skiers we work with
