Radar Senate Lithium vs Radar Senate Pro?

davebuc

Howdy,
My current ski is a 2018 Radar Lithium Senate (since August 2018).

My understanding is that the Senate Pro is different 2019 to 2020. (Rocker, I think?)
11 weekends a year, I ski at a private ski lake.
About once a week, I ski a course in open water on a public lake.

I have wondered what the differences are between the Lithium Senate 2018 and Senate Pro 2019 or 2020.
Anyone have any input?
I am riding a 69" Lithium Senate.
6'3, 210 lb
In Sept 2018, I was getting close to running 34mph, -15.
Then I broke an ankle, had surgery, etc.

Currently, I'm close to running 32.3 -15 again
I am not a tournament skier, but rather a recreational course skier who likes progress / improving. 32mph, shortening the rope, 34mph tops.
Thank you for reading and your assistance.
Dave

The 18 is based on the one of the greatest designs in ski history but folks I know who've tried that shape and the new like the new. Can't hurt to demo.

To the best of my knowledge all Senates of the same model year come out of the same mold. The difference is mainly in the core. Possibly a bit in the lay up to achieve the desired flex.
The 17&18 had the step design in the bottom. The 19 lost the step and was a more refined. The 20 shape changed again and is just a bit better. With each shape change the Senate has become better and better. They are all good skis but after owning all three years I think the newest model has the biggest sweet spot and is the most fool proof and easy to ski on. At the level you are at the Lithium will be a great choice but you won’t be sorry if you get the Pro.
