Hey thanks I will check them out. I definitely don't want reverse camber, but I will look them over.Quote:

They’re basically flat with super subtle early rise tips and tails. Long shot for sure to find at deal pricing but worth a demo if they come to your local hill. They seem to usually have returns, particularly in the stiffer layupsQuote:

I have some shreditor 92s and monster 98s that I have to try before I make any new purchases.

The Monster 98 is perfect for what you want to do. They carve like a dream.Quote:

Wrens are a little more damp/stable, while being just as “fun”??Quote:

They just plain outperformed the Enforcers in every manner, in my heavily ON3P biased opinion.
Nice quiver- those were my $20 full tilts I think!Quote:

Yep, the MVPs are upside down, but you get the idea :-/
That's a killer quiver.

Have a few more on the way but here's where things are at. Hiding in the background are the 202 Lotus 138 pures.
Hmmm, I detect a slight bias...Quote:

May as well bump up to the 202 138. Neil has a set of 200cm Lotus 120 Pures, the 138 interests me more as a pure powder shape.Quote:

Do DPS measure short, or true to size? Are there different variations in the 138 core, like hybrid or pure or whatever? Any different flex patterns?

I dunno, they look longer than my 192 Big Dumps.Quote:

To me this is a perfect pow tool for the once every 3-5 year type days where it's waist deep, so I'm not concerned about chop and slop performance.
