Tdub Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Getting a bit older (67) and ready to pull the trigger on a new ski. I currently ride a D3 Nomad. It has been a wonderful ski but I am ready for a change. I ski at 32mph and get into 28 off every once and a while. I like HO as a company and a friend of mine is an HO dealer. So...67 inch Superlite CX or TX? What do you knowledgeable folks think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted January 16, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2017 My ski buddy who's 74 went from a Monza to a Superlite TX last year. He picked up 6 to 9 bouys - gets into deep 35 consistently now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdub Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Wow! Thanks. What is the difference between the Superlite CX and the TX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted January 16, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2017 Tx is a little wider works well for up to 32 mph . I read here that it's BLP's choice and he's running 35's on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ESPNSkier Posted January 16, 2017 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'm early 60s but also ski 32 mph. I was running 15 off and a few at 22 when I bought a 67" CX Superlite last spring. I love this ski and was running 28 off with a few at 32 by late fall. Very forgiving and easy to ride ski that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Tdub Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks for the comments. So far it looks like CX is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have both a regular TX and a SL CX. I am 51 and I have been skiing for many years but are just staring to run the course. I prefer the CX over the TX because it feels more responsive, goes thru the wakes much better and has less of a tendency to lift the tip (bad technique on my part). ]I do not feel much difference as far as how easy it is to deep water start or the drag they produce.

Tdub Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks @mundo That is the answer I was looking for. I will place the order today. Thanks again for your thoughts. Cheers. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
