    Revised Kusala Size Poll

    Changing poll to get a better feel on what size options will work best for the most people. Previous poll post is gone.
    This poll allows multiple choice so you can choose a 186 or 191 and also say you'll take a 189 if that's what it takes or what most want.
    As I asked in the previous poll that led to the creation of this poll with updated options....

    Would a 189 be a happy medium between the two that would appeal to both 186 and 191 aspirants?
    Nobody ever stretches a ski out only 3 cm but, as I've said before, I like small changes because they tend to more precisely retain the quality characteristics of a real performer with a special feel. But, hey, that's just me. I know some of you guys that would prolly love a 194. Hell, so would I. But we get a shot to make this ski again - and make it longer, by what I think I've read, so I'm just throwing that out here so I feel confident all things are being considered.

    Is it really that easy to just change the length of a ski without changing the feel? I am in the market for a new Palski. I would probably prefer the 191 because it is a proven formula. In my perfect world The 191 would be made to original specs and materials with a choice of topsheet Like mother Theresa or crystals

    The 191 has not been built. Only the 186 has.

    OK. Thanks. I thought that I read that you were on a pair of 191s, and that you really dug them.?.
    It's kinda tough for me personally to buy skis that no one has been on
    ....but then again, I think that with a 5cm difference, it may just be splitting hairs.

    I actually like the thought of the 189 now, especially if it is 189 tip to tail straight pull

    Yeah, 189 seems like an acceptable middle ground

    I prefer 191 but 189 would also be acceptable.

    186, 189, 191 in that order with an exceedingly high preference for tried and true 186. I have cash in my pocket from Maude, and already whittled the quiver down to 16, so ready to buy immediately.

    There's an actual poll, btw, if anyone missed that. I did.
    Need to log in via a web browser on a computer, if it doesn't show up on your phone.

    189 if that helps with a single length run, I would be fine on the 191 as well.

    191 would be my preference, but would do 189. 186 =Tuco more than likely out.
