Can Prophet 100s really "pop" on groomers?

I have K2 Axis ModX (not pro) in 188 (those are 107-70-97, 16mm side). Me - 57, 5'11", 165. Mostly annual (Feb) week of skiing in SLC. Ski most of the mountain, including as much as possible "modest" pow. Not so much chutes, aggressive trees, bumps, and no park. The K2's have so much energy when on groomers that I can modulate them up to getting thrown around. So they can be energetic but still well behaved with modest input. Tried other mids and fats, and mostly they have been "dead". AC50s were close, but not enough rebound without major input. I missed demoing the Prophet 100s at Alta this season. Everyone seems to love the Prophet 100s, and they sound practically perfect overall. But that one issue of rebound "pop" doesn't seem to be clearly discussed, probably because these aren't really meant for mainly groomer use. I'd really appreciate feedback on how much you need to load them up to get them to throw you around.
