Baller jayski Posted August 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2018 About 6 sets in and got some fin #'s figured out that I really like and pretty close to sticking with. I have been on a few Goode's over the years but haven't found one that I liked enough to stick with for the last 4-5 years. The Revolution is by far the best one I have ever rode (I know, sounds familiar). Quick across course, carries speed through the turn (first Goode I have ever had do that, usually had pressure at the finish no matter what I did) great angle and equal turns both sides resulting in copious amounts of space before the buoy. Can drop bombs if you like but will result in angle and load you better be ready to hold onto. It sits really well in the water, stable and secure, sets really well into the turn, I ski on a public lake right now and boat rollers, chop are are negligible factors. I am super impressed, and yes please, I will have another glass of the Goode kool-aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jayski Posted August 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2018 @MS why, you want a piece of it? Currently north of the 49th parallel enjoying the short summer here filled with tubers from towers, wake surfers and fisherman before heading back next week.

Baller GMC Posted August 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm interested in any direct comparison to the Rev6: Notable performance differences? Changes in settings required? The Goode settings page isn't updated for the Revolution yet. I'm basically running the Alternate #2 settings on the Rev6 and that's where I would start with the Revolution.

Baller Not_The_Pug Posted August 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2018 @GMC I have one on the way. But I hear fin settings are different then the Rev 6. What size do you have and I will see if I can get a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller wawaskr Posted August 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2018 Can anyone chime in on the Revolutions differences with the Nano family (Nano One, XT, XTR)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Scott Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Closer to the revolution shape. I’d say the ski is faster side to side than the rev 6. The biggest improvement is stability and the way the ski feels. It turns effortlessly. In fact I have heard a few say it turns too good. I am running the same fin numbers that I rode on the rev 6 and the nano one. So I’d say it’s an easy transition from either ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimski Posted August 22, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 22, 2018 Any one come off a pro built to a Goode what are the differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenderson Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Went from the 18 Pro Build to the revolution. I found the Revolution much more stable and predictable. I was struggling on the off side and always felt late and fast. I am able to get more controlled speed with direction putting me at the buoy line sooner. Turns are much more predictable and reliable. This ski is defiantly worth a ride or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bhs Posted August 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2018 What’s the difference between the Rev6 and the XT/XTR shape? I ask because I find it interesting that the XTR was new in 2018 and for 2019 Goode is going back to an older shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimski Posted August 23, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 23, 2018 The input sounds very positive Im getting ready to order one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Scott Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The XTR was the nano one shape with a different rocker profile. The revolution is the shape of the Rev 6. Without cuts. The rev 6 was the sixth version of this shape which was never released. And all of the previous testing was the shape without the flex tail. The revolution shape is a great ski which offers a ton of stability. The ski turns and generates mega cross course direction while allowing you to slow the ski down to initiate the turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Skier Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 @wawaskr great question. I am ready for a new ski and looking to make the switch from Radar to GOODE but can’t sort if I want the XTR or Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Booze Posted August 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2018 @AU_Skier - from a general perspective (or IMHO), the XTR rides like an XT, which is slower from side to side but is very sticky and dependable at the buoy. The Rev is 'faster', it still turns quickly but may not be as sticky and predictable at the buoy. Perhaps the XTR rides deeper than the Rev.

Baller mbabiash Posted August 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2018 Just get an Evo. Fast and shuts down fast plus it’s dependable in the turns. Oh yeah. Way more durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Skier Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 @mbabiash can’t argue with D3 - great product. As an Engineer, I can’t overlook the data either - 34mph results at nationals year after year. Never owned a GOODE and have heard the concerns about durability but if it gets me more bouys more consistently..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wawaskr Posted August 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2018 @AU_Skier if you have never been on a Goode, do yourself a favor and get on one, there is a reason you see so many on the podium. Im on an XT, and the is no durability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted August 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm on a 2012 N1. Probably ski 125 plus days a year. So, definitely no durability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Booze Posted August 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2018 Since the EVO was mentioned...I like D3 and their organization. But, I rode an EVO recently...32's were sweet....35 was another matter. The smoothness went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GMC Posted August 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 29, 2018 The weather and my schedule haven't been a great match lately but I have a few passes on the Revolution now. All I can say is that it does feel faster/lower effort and it definitely carries speed out of my offside a little better than the Rev6. It also seem like it has a more defined kick point in the rocker that is a touch further back, so the same binding location resulted in some behavior that is a little grabby. Next time out I'm going to move my front binding back a hole, which will be closer to the stock setting of 29 3/8". I'll post some more detail when I get a couple good practice sets.

Baller_ MISkier Posted August 29, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted August 29, 2018 @GMC should also tell you that he hopped on that new ski mid-tournament after round 1 with zero passes on it beforehand. And, he got the exact same score as the Rev 6 in round 1 without ever having skied on the settings or any other acclimation to it. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller Not_The_Pug Posted August 31, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2018 I rode one for the first time last night. Got home late, so just put my bindings on it at the same measurement as my Rev 6. Ski is very stable and finishes the turn and moved in towards the first wake very well. I will get a few more rides this weekend and actually measure the fin. But so far I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellenm Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Would any recommend it for a 32 mph skier? I still practice some at 34 but mostly compete at 32 on a Radar Probuild 66 right now. What size should I try if I demo it? I’m 145 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GMC Posted September 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2018 @ellenm Part of the reason I haven't followed up earlier comments is that someone else in my club tried my ski and liked it so much he bought it. He is also 32 mph and was skiing on a 66" Radar. The 67" Revolution worked for him and he's below the recommended weight range for that size so don't be afraid of the 66.5" ski. My new new ski comes on Wednesday and I'll pick up where I left off Wednesday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrix Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It's been a while since I was on a Goode, but I am intrigued by the Revolution. Stupid question. Do Goode skis come with inserts these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Zman Posted September 17, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2018 What I like about using jaws is that it is easy to get consistent readings versus getting the tips in the exact same spot each time. But, with exception of the slot calipers, jaws reading will be different with different calipers. They don't intend or machine the jaws area for accuracy. And, since everyone does not have slot calipers, it makes it hard to compare numbers with others. I don't adjust much, but when I do I measure both ways and trust the jaws reading the most.
