I am by no mean a beginner, but personally I find them very accessible, easy to ski, now to get a lot out of them, I can imagine that an average skier will not get much out, but an average skier will be able to ski with them I thing
Thanks for the fantastic review. Having a hard time deciding between these and the Elite ST Ti. High intermediate/Advanced but wondering if it’ll be too much ski? 170lb/179cm and have ski on Atomic Redster X9s. Have liked the S9s in the past too on a demo. Can’t demo these though!
They're very locked in to the slalom turn, but the Master takes the build to the next level. I think the Hero Elite is the way to go if you're at all concerned about the level of the ski being too much--still some outstanding performance in the Hero Elite level.
I'm assuming you mean the Elite ST vs. Master ST. In this case, the Master is offered in more traditional racing sizes and shaping, while the Elite ST has longer lengths and a wider overall footprint. Both have similar builds with Beech wood cores and two layers of titanal.
The Master has the full world cup build but a slightly different turn shape. The Elite ST is not the top end build and has a slightly wider platform overall to stand on.
The Master is more rugged and race oriented, and it also comes in fewer and shorter lengths. If you're adhering to a slalom turn more often than not, I'd stick to the Master. For less of a true racing performance, the Elite is the way to go--slightly friendlier overall.
Great review: love seeing legit review of technical skis.....not something most US review sites bother with (unfortunately!)
I love mine, you need some good technique and some muscles in the legs, but for a morning with empty slopes, it's great! As to the gras Ski

whats the difference between the Master ST series vs the regular ST?

How is this one different from Rossi Hero Elite ST Ti?
The Master has the full world cup build but a slightly different turn shape. The Elite ST is not the top end build and has a slightly wider platform overall to stand on.
Can't decide between these and Hero Elite's TI LTD as they are almost same price
