I've had my ski partner ski the 2.0 for a week or so to stretch it out, then I tried it, just don't like it! I'm Not going to pay a $100 + to go to a tournament and get that rope! This is not a knock on ML, as I ski their regular non stretch. No one has answered my question as to the pros getting a choice like they did at nationals, and will we get a choice? I had the ML 1.5(?) last summer and gave that rope away, that's $270 dollars for 2 ropes. I don't want to drag this conversation out, but I'm pretty sure there are others who feel as I do.
