I felt the same way about the Z9 when I
demo\'d it earlier this year. It was too "turny" for me, the edge hold felt decent enough though. I also didn't like the stability at speed, and it was harder to make GS turns - but this could all be technique and my skill level (strong intermediate but not really advanced) as BeanoNYC points out. OTOH, I have no problem piloting the Volkl 5 Star / S5
There are plenty of people that love the Z9, and the K2 Apache Recon which I also demo'd but preferred the Vokls. Goes to show you - demo, demo, demo! They're all really good skis, everyone just has different preferences.
