Eastern gs ski

[levy1]

OK, so I bought a Blizzard R Power 174 for swooping GS turns. It is just OK. Way faster then anything else I have, I like the speed and good Ice hold.**Why does my Kendo 177, 22 radius ski make such a smooth beautiful GS turn? Is it the radius? I want the same turn, same easy feel but faster speed.**Do I need more radius to get the turn I want?**I always buy a 2 or 3 year old ski because I am on SS and funds are always limited. Do I need to buy a newer GS?*All the Beer League skis are around 19 radius, Volkl, Rossi, Atomic*Is 174 to short? in these skis and I need to go to 180?*If you say it is the radis I would need a WC ski and have no idea what length or what might be easy and I could ski it all day.*67, 190lbs, Level 8 or 9 on the groomers want more speed and a swooping GS turn. Skiing east but this would be for big mountain GS.Thanks again

A true race ski, you've got to be on EVERY turn and work it! A "beer league" ski gives a bit of Lee way and skis "smoother" regardless of style

This thread is right up the alley of a certain member here.
I'm just curious whether the reply will be trolling or helpful.

My everyday Cannon ski is a K2 Moto GS race stock.They are really not "true" race stock but I get a lot of comments on how skinny they are compared to most skis out there now.Firm and fast is how most days are at Cannon and these skis love that.
