Hey Mike, Generally, I think the progression is to go from softer to harder as you get more comfortable and confident in your slalom abilities. Harder will make you go faster, but if your lines aren't tight it can get a bit hairy. I have three (2) sets of avalons that I swap around. It's good to be ...
