Head Absolute Joy review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
While remaining correct, the ProSkiLab™ reviewers were somewhat taken aback by its overall performance, which they put down to a problem of preparation. We need to test it again next year.
Review: Pros
- Carving
Review: Cons
- Uneven performance probably linked to a preparation issue on the model tested

Manufacturer's remarks
The HEAD Libra structure combines 3 key characteristics for maximum performance, fun, fluidity and, above all, less effort.
The range is designed for all-mountain skiing. If we had to define this ski, it would be the peak of lightness, balance and control.
