Head Absolute Joy review 2015
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
An excellent ski for beginners, the Absolute Joy is limited by its relatively poor performance in carving which pulls down its score for adaptability in this category. A very good ski for beginners and false beginners.
Review: Pros
- Exceptional skid turns
- Stability
- Comfortable, requires little physical effort
Review: Cons
- The ski is not very happy carving and not very adaptable
- Less comfortable in short turns

Manufacturer's remarks
The Libra HEAD structure combines 3 key features for maximum performance, fun, fluidity and, above all, less effort.
This line has something for every type of terrain. If we had to sum up this ski, we’d say it’s the ultimate in lightness, balance and control.
