Stöckli Spirit Globe review 2013
Men's skis 2013 > Men's advanced Best ski 2013
The ideal advanced ski, the Spirit Globe produced by Stöckli was awarded the one of the ProSkiLab™ testers' favourites. It's an excellent choice for a wide range of skiers, from average to expert. For the former, it's a highly manoeuvrable ski that will help them to make progess quickly and confidently, while the latter will enjoy this high performance, particularly well-balanced ski.
The Amphibio Waveflex 14 already scored well last year. This year, it takes second place in the rankings. This particularly well-blanced ski, with a focus on accessibility and comfort, corresponds well to the Advanced programme criteria. We strongly recommend this model for average to good skiers looking for a fluid and comfortable ski over and above pure performance.
The Blizzard G Power Suspension is too perfomance-oriented for this programme where we're really looking for a one-quiver ski that's accessible and comfortable. However, it's a truly high performer and we recommend it for racers who really know their technical stuff technique and are in tip top shape physically speaking.
While it's easy to use, highly enjoyable, and especially good in carved turns, the Pursuit Ti lacks the versatility required for the Advanced programme. We would still recommend this ski for average to good skiers who're looking for an easy and comfortable ski so they can perfect their carving technique and carve out fluid turns on the slopes.
The Speed Cross is no doubt an excellent Skicross ski, but it is too demanding to be well placed in the Advanced category. It's nonetheless a perfect ski for skicross enthusiasts and for those looking to carve out wide radius turns at high speed.
