“Its an average ski, nothing great nothing horrible. Lacks the energy of the Blizzard, Volkl and Fischer WC SL ski's. The Radical Line is slightly different but in my opinion no where near the other three brands I have mentioned. As far as a race ski there are better options.” --Kanakry

“ I bought these used from a rep. Having never skied a true race ski before I had expected them to be a specialty ski for me. One run and I was sold on them. They do it all, short turns (of course they're a slalom ski) schmedium turns, even medium to long radius. They have grip on hard snow that's unbelievable, I feel like I have bear claws on my feet! I use them to teach and they have no...” --SkiMangoJazz

this is the most amazing SL i have ever tried.
quick edge to edge response. Incredible Edge grip on ice!!! Yet no railing out turns. this ski attacks the hill. If you start leaning back to much, the tail will kick you forward, so be ready for it. It will litterally throw you into the next turn. For Expert skiers only. if you can...” --superflyracer

“This is the best WC GS ski i have ever used. Edge grip and confidence on this ski are through the roof. Words cannot express how great this ski is. I have never taken a free run on this ski. Used it 8 times in a race course. But it is a truly amazing ski.” --Kanakry

“I use this ski running Super G gates and on the days when I want to just go flat out fast, and it is a very, very fast ski. It likes long smooth turns and accelerates all the way through. Holds it's edge, like a razor slicing across an apple and that is on any angle, but it can mess you up very quickly if you don't stay on top of it; and it will really take off at the slightest change in...” --Matonieve

“This is a hand-built, race-stock FIS-compliant slalom race ski. It is beautifully constructed in Italy, by one of the most-respected builders of high-performance skis in Europe. As a slalom race ski, the Javelin stands among the finest you can buy. It is a purpose-built ski, meant to carve short-radius turns at speed on hard snow--and it does this superbly. But--especially with the heavy Vist...” --Bob Barnes

“This ski is nothing short of amazing. It's abilty to carve tight lines on icy courses while still allowing you to execute long sweeping GS turns makes it one versatile ski. I wrote an article on it over a year ago before the Waveflex feature was added. I'm even more enthusiastic about it now. The 2009 model made a great ski even better. Can't wait for the 2010 model! Even if you're not...” --patmoore
