The Tour G90's are supposed to be excellent, my brother has a pair and swears by them. I however are going to wait to try out the new Mission's which are also supposed to have a very comfortable with "DNA" technology in them, they are going to come out fairly soon. Hope this helps you out.

I know the history of V-Form has hurt their credibility with that offset chassis, but if you get a chance to try the Nexed Stinger's with the 2 degree offset hi/lo chassis (you can hardly see it) you might be surprised at how well it turns and how good the grip is for accelertation too. My son has had them for 1.5 years now and I have them too, and we are impressed. But no one seems to carry them - mostly because the dealers got burned when the original V- Forms flopped and Nexed left everybody holding inventory - after they assured them that they would take them all back if they didn't sell.
As a result there aren't many places to buy the Stingers and not too many are wearing the 2 degrees. They are very light as well, - a little stiff but they can be oven heated (less wheels and bearings). I just bought a pair for $250.00
Its not hard to find dealers who will order them, but few have them in stock. They fit about 1 - 1.5 sizes large versus shoe size for most people. I.E - if you wear size 11 shoes 9.5 - 10 should work. Obviously if you can get to try a pair first it is easier.
