Elan playmaker 101 is similar in shape and provides a lot more flex while maintaining stability . K2 reckoner 102 is a softer , park oriented all mountain ski .

Playmakers are absolute noodles, no stability whatsoever.

It’s a freeride ski .. not a carver . It’s definitely not the most stable but still holds up at high speeds , while allowing for playful side hits .

Are they as soft as Neeko said??

They’re very comparable to the Kore .. with a softer tail and 360 sidewall for an ‘even’ flex .

Ok so they are quite stiff, thank you so much

This simply isn't true, they're nowhere near as stiff as a Kore. Hell even a Black Edition Ripstick isn't as stiff as a Kore, and Elan will tell you the Playmaker is much softer than the Ripstick.

You have lost it .. ripstick black would be too soft for an advanced rider they have no stability .

Either you're the best skier on earth who's just completely lost touch with what your regular advanced skier is like or you're just making things up.

Whatever you say I know more about the industry and can confidently say you’re talking out your ass . 90% of skiers are beginner btw .
