So what's the verdict on the new skis? Handle as good and predictable as the grippers or just close?

This is getting comical. If it were actually possible to do, I would bet maybe one out of one hundred could pick out which ski was the gripper vs the G2 in a blind riding test. And probably not that many. You might pick it roughly 50% of the time because that’s your odds of getting a guess right. If it gives you the psychological impression that you’re going to be a better rider, have less fatigue, get thrown off the sled less, hit fewer trees, or whatever by putting a different set of skis on that are damn near identical to the ones you’re taking off...more power to ya.
There are no two lines alike, no two jumps, no two trails... this isn’t asphalt racing where there’s some sort of consistency. And there’s maybe 1% of riders that are good enough to have any amount of consistency in the way they ride to have any true baseline to ccompare.
If I found a pair of take-off '19 ProClimb 7 G2 skis,would they be an improvement over the stock skis on my back-up '10 M8?
'19 Rubber is the same as '12-'15.anyone have the part number for the 19 ski skins? I am guessing the rubbers, bushings, bolts, loops, carbides are the same as the spindle is the same for the 16-19? Ski
Has anyone swapped just the 19 ski bottoms onto 18 hardware, rubber, bolt, wear bars etc..? It looks like different part numbers but curious to know if anyone has swapped everything from the 18 ski set-up and just replaced the ski bottoms. $70 per ski is an attractive option vs. having to cut and buy new pieces to put on grippers.
You will either need to cut or buy new pieces to put the 19 skins on. All of those parts are different they are closer to the gripper pieces but not quite the same as those even.
