I just got in from my first two sets on my new D3/X5. It is a 68.5" with the HO Venom off of my 69" Charger.
The ski accelerates well and stops on a dime. Right out of the box I ran my initial 15 off pass and got 5 at 22. I have been making 22 off the dock about 70% of the time on the Charger so it was pretty encouraging.
Initial thoughts are the ski is fast and turns much quicker than the HO (no big surprise there). I did have a couple of issues with the ski stalling a little on my off side in the turn. The D3 doesn't ride as high in the water as the Charger (not that I expected it to) but seems to accelerate at least as well.
I think as I get comfortable on it and get it dialed in this will help me go deeper than the Charger. Unfortunately I only have a month or so of serious skiing left.
