Strengths:
Absolute carving beast on the hardback/groomers but even in some fresh along the side of groomed trails, I was able to play with a few quick turns.
Weaknesses:
Deep snow, but still not bad, for its intended use. I have a pair of wider, softer skis for deeper, off-piste.
Summary:
This is as-advertised! If you ski a lot of groomers and hardback, and are an advanced skier with good technique, this is your ski! I found that the more you lay down on edge, the better it performs. Powerful turns on hardpack/groomers. Not quite race ski turn-ability, but it's not a race ski. It's pretty quick turning but takes good technique to get it into a quick-turning groove. But still, taking it into the moguls is not a springboard launching event, as it sometimes is with a stiffer ski. There is some playability in it that suits me. Great Eastern US ski for advanced skiers!

Strengths:
Great ski, tested two years ago. Now I bought 1/22. Very stable ski at high speed. I have two pairs of Stockli and they are very demanding ski but with this Deacon 84 you can just turn off the switch. Just ski and relax. Inexpensive ski, good features.
Weaknesses:
No weakness
Summary:
Stable, enjoyable, great all-mountain ski.

Strengths:
The ski harmonizes perfectly with a ski boot with a hardness of 130 and is extremely harmonious, stable, precise and direct. It performs confidently on snow-covered slopes of all levels of difficulty from blue to black as well as on rutted and sometimes slushy slopes. However, in slightly deeper snow it can be strenuous and may require the bindings to be adjusted back an inch to improve performance. Otherwise it requires an extremely strenuous position on your back. The ski offers very nice edge feedback and feels extremely direct when turning. I was even able to edge up to 3 times per second, making for an impressive driving experience.
Weaknesses:
Deep snow
Summary:
The ski is a versatile all-rounder and handles EVERYTHING(!) on the slopes almost perfectly. However, for deep snow I would use a softer full rocker.

Strengths:
An all-round ski that opens up to really lie on the turns in oily surfaces
Weaknesses:
The bindings are not enough and do not match the ski. Missing a plate to help a little extra in the turns and so that you can put the skis down further. Now you run the risk of pulling the boot on the surface in the turns
Summary:
The skis are among the best I've been on. Almost on par with Superspeed..

Strengths:
Tried both in hard piste and soft sloppy spring snow works perfectly.
Weaknesses:
Difficult to charge energy in the ski in long turns.
Summary:
Fun and easy skiing if you master difficult skiing, the grip is good but not like a real slalom ski of course, difficult to load in giant slalom turns but it is possible. Stable and vibration-free, absolutely wonderful in a wet spring piste. So good skiing a pleasure to ride. Tried both 177 and 182 and felt that 177 suited my riding and weight better.
