Back when the Supershape line first came out with 4 models my new Rallys were really off. They'd dart one way or the other. They were concave. I was told that some factory tuning gets done before the epoxy was fully cured, and that they cupped as they finished curing. A good base & edge tune, and they were lots of fun for years. My Stöckli Laser AX weren't bad like that, but they just weren't what I expected. Just a little grabby, side to side, and not quite right. The structure was so deep that light showed in the grooves of the structure under the true bar. Not cupped, just not "my" structure. A base grind fixed it, and they're sweet.
So...Feel how they ski. Get a true bar and use it to look at the bottom flatness. If they need the work, they'll be much better after the tune.
