Baller Milford Posted August 3, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2020 @Than_Bogan - yes that was a long time ago. I have had 3 back surgeries and each one makes me think I am done skiing. I wear a powervest and try to manage the pain associated with short line skiing, so to be back into -41 after the 3rd surgery is very exciting.

Baller Bill22 Posted August 12, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 12, 2020 For the small with standard flex at 34mph, what’s the bottom of the weight range? The website doesn’t specify a low end. Assume the skier is a total hack, back foot heavy and can run 22off once in a while. I apologize if this was already covered, I didn’t read every post.

Baller AdamCord Posted August 13, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2020 @Bill22 at 34mph realistically it’s probably 110-120lbs. We could look at making a softer one if you needed lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 9400 Posted August 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2020 Currently at 28.5, 2.660, 6.665, 0.910, 7 flat, no complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller customski Posted August 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2020 @9400, pretty crazy numbers but I guess your ski buddy makes the suggestions. What size and flex is yours? Milford is very close to my weight and I also ride a large but want to order a Medium Record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 9400 Posted August 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2020 It’s a medium and I’m around 163 pounds. When I ask what flex it is, Adam tells it’s a good one. I assume it’s the record flex. Most numbers they give me work. I’ve been all over the place on setups, every time I get a setup I like, then he gives me another one and I like that as well or better. This ski works all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller owennibley Posted August 25, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2020 I had my credit card info and everything ready to hit the order button on Saturday for a large standard flex but I just thought I need some more input on whether I should get the med or large. At the start of the season I was just under 200. Now I am at 185. I currently ski a 67" and it seems to be just fine even though I am on the edge of that weight range. Is there any advantage to going to a medium instead of a large? @Milford said he got an entire pass by switching to the medium... I am nowhere near the skier he is but... Thoughts? Like I said, I'm ready to hit the order button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted August 25, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2020 @owennibley ... I believe @185 you would want a Med...I am 6'4"@220 on a Large and it performs better than my 68" NRG. Actually pops you out of the water easier on start and accelerates better. Great Ski, Love it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BlueSki Posted August 25, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2020 I’m 175 - 180 depending on breakfast. Medium seems to work well, even when I am soaking wet. I guess it depends on whether or not you think you will persist at 185. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller customski Posted August 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2020 I’ve been recommended to get a large at 190 and 34mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BlueSki Posted August 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2020 This helps me stay motivated to maintain my weight and not outgrow my ski, as I now know the area of the upper bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller AdamCord Posted August 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2020 @owennibley at 185 you'll want a Medium @customski if you're 190 I'd also put you on a Medium, especially since I know you ski 36 sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted August 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2020 I am 160-165 and am on a medium - record flex and love this ski. The settings posted above are really really working well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skierx Posted August 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 29, 2020 @Skoot1123 I second that on #'s above. @9400 Thanks for posting that set up! It's close to what worked well on the 2020 c-75 except fin much further back on this one. Current 34 MPH 2021 med. Record flex c-75.LFF mod. Reflex fb RTP . 6.665, 2.66, .910, 8° flat, 28.5", 11" spread heel to heel. Even with the recommended settings posted on the Denali website ,This ski accelerates noticeably quicker then the standard flex, but these numbers are giving me a whole new look at the course. Never been this early or as high up on the boat with less effort. Only a few sets in so far, very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Slalom.Steve Posted October 6, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted October 6, 2020 basic question: the RFF vs. LFF is just which wing is attached, right? The ski itself is the same either way? I'm hoping to snag a used one next season sometime, but I'm 155-160 lbs, so will be looking for a small, which seems much harder to find (where my lean dudes at?! :D ).

Baller MattP Posted October 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2020 @SlalomSteve LFF & RFF is just fin dependent. The ski is the same. You can pry my small from my cold dead hands or after the Adams come up with the next greatest ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted October 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2020 @SlalomSteve - I am very close to your weight and I’m on a medium Record flex and love it. For us guys on the edge weight wise don’t be afraid to go up one size. Officially - do whatever the Adams say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Slalom.Steve Posted October 6, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted October 6, 2020 hmm, @AdamCord - any thoughts? I'm 5' 10", 155-160lb depending on the time of day, though I'm low on muscle right now after almost 4 months off of strenuous activity due to a f***ing concussion. I'm hoping to train hard this winter, could certainly end up more like 160-165. Or maybe if I just eat too much lol, but I'm good about diet - all that to say I don't see any way I'll get under 155, whereas I could see myself getting closer to 165. I suppose I should just wait to see what weight I'm at when I'm ready to buy a ski lol... but if a small would be best, and since they're harder to find, if one pops up on SIA for a good deal... it's gonna be hard not to make a poor financial decision :# Of note also is that I'd probably be looking at a 2020 model due to budget, rather than a 2021 with the different flexes, but my understanding is that the 2020 is fairly close to the the regular flex, which is where I'd be anyways. I'm still skiing 15off, 30mph (PB is 4 at 32mph) but I'm only 32years old, have really only had 4-5 months ever in the course, and have access to good (video) coaching, so I'm confident I will make progress fairly quickly - my goal is to run 34mph,22off by the end of next year. @MattP - https://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/comment/384162 - Horton said "next year will be the C87"... though that was followed by "that thing will not be cheap" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 9400 Posted October 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2020 I ride a medium at 160-165. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted October 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2020 @SlalomSteve I'm at 36 so I would think you would go to a Medium at 34. But go with what the Adams recommend. A few pop up on SIA every now and then but you have to be quick. If you can go with the 2021. I think the model C87 was more sarcasm but the guys are always working on something new.

Baller o2bnMaine Posted October 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2020 @SlalomSteve, I'm just over 150 pounds right now and use a small 2019 c75. I'm skiing at 34mph/28-35-off though. I'm curious what the recommendation will be as you are skiing a little slower and longer line lengths. When I demo'd the ski late-2019 it was pre-COVID weighing in at 160-165 pounds. They recommended the small for me at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
