Dynamic VR 77 AM review 2011
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Just occasionally we get a ski that makes skiing difficult and unenjoyable. Unfortunately, we don't know if this was simply a production fault on the skis we were sent to test, or a more general production or design weakness. If you're tempted by the ski's look and the mythical reputation of the "VR77" name, we strongly recommend you try out the ski before buying. As far as we're concerned, we'd like to test it again next year.
Review: Pros
- Our reviewers found this ski very hard to test, and didn't find any interesting features.
Review: Cons
- The reviewers found this ski globally unenjoyable, lacking in performance and difficult to handle. Specific weaknesses included difficult initiation and complicated turn control, probably because of poor flex distribution.
