The Goode 9800 SL’s Asymmetric design is yet another example of Dave Goode’s endless pursuit of innovation. In addition to being incredibly light and coming in various flex patterns for different skill and weight levels, the SL also comes in right foot forward and left foot forward versions. The right and left foot forward versions are designed to equalize a skiers turns on both sides of the lake. Skiers with a wide variety of styles will find that they can be immediately comfortable on the 9800 SL. Technical skiers who maintain a neutral stance and ski with an unhurried tempo will find exceptional speed, angle and width. Turns on both sides of the lake are symmetrical, smooth and carving. This ski offers world class performance to all levels of skiers. The 9800 SL is unusually sensitive to fin and binding settings. To protect the integrity of the carbon fiber outer shell of the ski, Goode does not recommend drilling any binding holes. Goode has engineered composite binding plates that attach to the ski without holes. This ski is very user friendly. Right from the beginning the ski was stable and predictable. This ski is by far the most symmetrical ski I have ever ridden. Dave Button.  I would recommend this ski to anyone – from just running the course down to shorter line lengths. It’s a very user-friendly ski that would suit many skiing styles. It has a large sweet spot and is very forgiving. It just skis well. Laura Johnson. I would recommend this ski for advanced skiers. It is predictable and stable as long as you do not try to force the ski. Good technique and patience are rewarded with serious angle out of the turn and excellent carry out to the buoy line. Todd McBride. The great acceleration and the ability to generate superb angle at the finish of the turn allows the skier to really make up time in the course. The SL is definitely on my list for my next ski. Brian Fielding. |
