Baller jipster43 Posted October 31, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 31, 2011 What are the differences between these two skis? Which is more popular, the asymmetrical or the traditional? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted October 31, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 31, 2011 The 9900 seemed to be the people's choice of the two. I think the 9800 was thinner, or seemed to break down more from things that I have read out here on the web. The 9800 did come with a thinner fin, supposedly to help it go faster. I have used it on a few other skis and don't think it does much, except, I don't think it turns as well for me. In a rare marketing move, Goode was discounting the 9800 quite a bit earlier this season. If it was a hot ski, I doubt it would have been discounted.

Baller_ Wish Posted October 31, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 31, 2011 IMHO 9700- fast 9800- slow but more stable, breakable 9800sl- asymmetrical (good thing), not so slow, stable, not heard of as much breaking 9900sl- improved speed over 9800sl. I don't think by a whole lot, but better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted October 31, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 31, 2011 All I know is that I can't tell a difference in my non assymetrical goode and my friend's assymetric one. The two skis feel identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted October 31, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 31, 2011 My LFF friend actually liked my RFF 9900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted October 31, 2011 I noticed that Goode was offering the 9800 for a song and I've seen some 9900's that were going for pretty cheap too. I love my Elite, but at some of these prices it couldn't hurt to try the 9900. However, I vowed to buy my next ski from H2Osmosis - support the sport and all that. Maybe I'll try the 9900 at a deeply discounted price and if I really like it, I can buy a Nano from Tad & Seth. Or maybe I'll remodel our bathroom and my wife won't divorce me!
