Hendryx Purple Haze (Page 2)
Strengths:
Works for everything. Have driven these skis mostly from lack of crowds and cartons to really deep and nice snow. Once you have entered these skis, you can go almost everywhere. however, is best in deep snow or in the forest where it is known as few. Or lay some deep, cutting turns in the piste next to the elevator and see how people turn their heads.
Weaknesses:
May tend to get a bit unstable when it starts to go really fast on uneven, tough snow.
The ski is nothing for beginners but requires its skier to come true.
Even a good skier may need a little "in rides" to find the ski.
Summary:
Do not give up if you do not like the ski straight away. Sometimes it may require a ride before joining the ski. I've been on several good skiers who did not like the ski but after giving it a chance and how it works, they have loved it.
This is a sensually good ski
Give this ski a chance and you will get incredibly much back.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Much pleasure.

Strengths:
A complement to my previous review a season later. Has now driven the skis on most surfaces except "bottomless". The positive reviews about PH as Allround Skiing still last. Have also run a lot of sneezing ... and yes ... I have not been disappointed. Flies well and has a nice "poppy" feeling. Wake up, making them the perfect companion in the woods. It's just driving!
Weaknesses:
After a season, some weaknesses have also been crystallized. The relatively short turning radius combined with a soft and wide board gives a tendency to overriding when it is running fast and the surfaces are large. Ie The skid turns more than you might imagine. But that's a lot of habit. The ski runs like a spear in the piste as long as it is not really hard (read ice) and it starts steeping. Then the skirt feels the softest team (flexed) and does not really hang out when it starts to go fast and I squeeze.
Summary:
Awesome allround ski for those who can push the edges and like swing!

Strengths:
Applies last year but it is probably a correct assumption that they are as good / even better this year
+ Absolutely sick in the piste
+ Absolutely sick in the offpiste
+ Totally ill nice design
+ Absolutely sick flow
+ Absolutely ill maneuverability ... and speed stability
Weaknesses:
No
Summary:
The best skiing in the world? I would think so. Had last season's Purple Haze when I was singing in Canada and it was the best pair of ski you could have imagined. There is nothing like these skis do not work! You carve like Mr. Mayer in the piste (then carvar) and then pull some lucky McConkney turns on the back of the mountain or play Jesper Rönnbäck in the steep and snowy forest. The best skiing available for everything. The design can also be the best, you get constant compliments, questions and tiresome looks of people wherever you take them. THEY TOTALLY ROCK!

Strengths:
As always, you have to take into account the skiing / skier combination ... but let me say this ... I'm not a Swede or a Kaj but on these skis I feel like them =)
Offpiste, I have a hard time imagining a couple of better comrades, ranging from large areas with high speed to bumpy corridors without feeling the least worried.
In the field of pistachio I have only seen it as a transport to the next off-piste opportunity ... but now carving is well appreciated. How well do they work in a pist ... right up to your leg muscles and how hard you can screw bonds.
Weaknesses:
They are not completely free then ... but if you have the money, it's a joy's investment ... have just ordered a couple of the season's PH =)
Summary:

Strengths:
· Pist, even hard, 5/5
· Pillows, 5/5
· Offpist, Allmountain, 5/5
· Design, 5/5
· Call center in the lift 5/5
· Duck Stance 5/5 (had some "anxiety" before I decided)
Have been on my PH 182 cm for 4 weeks, two in Swedish mountains at New Year, etc. hard pist but powdered pistol at the end, as well as 2 weeks in Canada, but there was not hard it was snowing all the time.
The skis are incredibly good in the powder and depending on how to go, you can get a really good surf feeling and even long "cutting" pads turn, but not at the same time. It gives 5/5 points in the powder.
And in the Swedish hard piste you are surprised that such a wide slide is going well. But it is not the width that sets the limitations, but the geometry and the flex that provide the opportunity for fun skiing, the swing radius of PH 182cm is 19m. and the flex is relatively soft (with my weight) this gives a lightweight and fun skiing to go on. When you carve and really get the skirt on edge, it shines with a thousand and it feels like the skis are angled 90 ° towards the piste and that the end and the intestines drag in, but it's just the feeling itself, it's probably a bit left. However, the skis are exceptionally good in hard pistons and get 6 out of 5 possible points.
For me, the ski feels very easy, fun and forgiving, both Pist and Puder.
The ski can be swiveled if necessary but appreciate and reward cut.
Comparing the swing radius with Rino Chaser 182 cm, r.17m. it feels like both skis are carvar with roughly the same radius, probably it is. PH that tat a bit shorter turn as it flexs a little easier.
The binds (Salomon 914) are fitted with Duck Stance, which automatically angles the inner rivets against the back of the turns, making it possible to get a good edging and a good cut on the inner side that is also to be loaded. This causes the inside edge to swing well in the turn, the risk of getting stuck on a skid. "Classic interior" in the piste disappears and also plows the trend in the offpiste disappears, (the plow trend is mentioned in Jesper Rönnbäck's offpiste school in Skiing for one or two seasons ago, he says there if I remember being used to the ski coming In the plow position, you do not need to do that with Duck Stance) You will also be stronger in the legs of the Duck position, but I have difficulty pronouncing it but at least there was no strength.
When you stand and when you ride the skis, your feet are not pointing outwards.
Duck should also be good for injured knees, the knee bends at a more normal angle. Most people walk outwards with their feet, "forcing" the foot straight forward as usual with today's binding assembly, bend the knee in a forced direction straight ahead.
How do Duck work for those who walk inward with my feet I do not know?
(The thoughts of angling your feet are found in, for example, Fisher's Soma pants)
Weaknesses:
Can not get any. It might be that they are so nice that you want their PH on the wall at home in the living room, and it's a bit hard to pick the skis down and up when it's skiddax. There may also be conflicts with the wife in that matter when you have taken out the best board in the store.
Summary:
There are not always pillows and offpiste is available, unfortunately, and then you can have fun on the piste with a few PH.
If you have the weight to choose a pair of PH 172 cm, the radius will be 17m and they are almost as good in the piste as a couple of SL race racing skis, maybe a bit "slower" into the swing.
It was a lot of piss snack, but the ski is a really good one in Puder and Offpist but surprising in the Pisten.
A comparison between Purple Haze 182 cm and Rino Chaser 182 cm.
PH feels like a softer more compelling, more all-round skiing.
The rino is a bit more exciting, requires a stiffer rider and / or heavier, but as stated above, PH'n is very fun to ride on.
For the vast majority, PH fits best and is therefore the funeral ski.
We want to swim in the snowy snow, do not choose for tight skis!

Strengths:
Stable, never fail, can handle everything, if you press. Have run all varied before, and everywhere deliver the ski.
Weaknesses:
No one is skidding, no skiing for tired and backy people. Requires attention all the time. Do not go down to ski resorts at some old gondolas. The upper side seems to be torn quite quickly. Mad Germans always have a given icebreaker in the chairlift.
Summary:
Have taken my skis for a while in St. Anton, and is terribly satisfied. Took a few days to get used to the wide and duckstancen, but after that the skiing was perfect. Not to say that I have a lot of experience with other skis, but of those I went, these are in a class by themselves.

Strengths:
Feels like a witty variant on a racestock grand slalom ski in the piste. You do not believe your eyes or feet. Control quickly and firmly into the swing and give the same great sense of stability and security as a race skate. Senseless considering the skiing wide ...
Unfortunately, did not run it in pillows (yet) but in spring snow, wrap, packed and mixed offpist, it performs exemplary. Going apart from many other fetches to drive on cutting even in the offpiste. Feel acquainted and forgiving (interesting combination).
Weaknesses:
Requires active driving, driving advantageously with good pressure on the plow and good technique (the board does not drop at all, if ever ...).
Significantly harder than clean snowmobiles, which probably does not give the same feeling in the deep fluff (with those skis on the other hand useless in the piste).
Summary:
Outstanding allmountain skiing that works in most situations. Unlike most fats, it's a fantastic pistachio!

Grymm in pillows and "spring snow", saving me in many turns when I thought it would go through. Awesome move !!!
Weaknesses:
It has no constant weaknesses, it's only me like walls too little, and not so much pressure on the right leg. So I do not freak out a mess in the piste.

But all this might be guessed but, on the contrary, it would be so cruel in the pist was a little shock!
But nothing to go straight on then you get to the backside right away, it's about staying at all the time ....

Strengths:
Fantastic flow and stability!
Low weight: I weighed them to about 2 kg per ski
Can run in big or tight turns just what you want them to do!
They invite to play and fun, I look for all the formations I can find to exploit them for even more unfolding!
They provide a response that is incredible.
Cool finish
Good soles and edges
It runs through roughnesses and can be driven at high speed on varying surfaces when it is driven actively - inviting it to safety and incredible stability!
Weaknesses:
Hmmm ... they are not for everyone. They need to be driven actively. If you hang behind and are passive you do not get the properties out of the skies. It took me some trips to be safe on the skis and get away, but then the skiing was really amazing!
(They are so wide that they do not fit into others's tracks + that it gets light heavy when snow is gathered on top, but this is not a sluggishness of skiing but applies to all skiing with this dimension)
Summary:
A truly amazing ski, but it requires running actively: search speed and weight ahead, the skies will be stable and provide a completely insane response and control.
Before I bought the skis, I was in contact with many other Hendryx owners. Everyone was so enthusiastic that I was almost skeptical about this could be true. But now I can say it was worth waiting from November to March on the order!
I was also a bit unsure whether it would be difficult to drive on so much skis, but there has been no problem. These are skis that can work as all-round skiing and that's more than a powder ski.
Henrik announces that the skis are able to run quite extensively: I can sign it! They can withstand the side of the side so you have to keep your arms close to fit! An incredible feeling to be so hard over!
I drive telemark and have mounted HammerHead bindings (no duck!) And have Scarpa T1 (2006/07 mod) pjäx.
Henrik Luthman has found a very lucky formula with his ski and this is really worth trying! Spitzenklasse!
