Graphene is the secret ingredient that makes HEAD’s Great Joy tremendously lightweight and powerful at the same time. This ultra-light, ultra-strong material is strategically placed throughout the ski along with Koroyd and carbon to improve rebound and stability without sacrificing weight. One tester “loved the lightness and balance of the skis” and “felt confident putting them on edge and holding that edge through variable snow.” Another noted that “they are very springy and when you’re ready to move to a new edge they’re already a step ahead of you.” This responsiveness is due in part to the ski’s tight turn radius and a women’s specific, low camber profile. Great Joy, indeed.
