Skiing with Softer Boats

Is it the KX or PX that works off the switch? I skied Normal / Zero for all those years and now am getting some rides behind some softer boats and need to pick it up. Not using a switch.

You would think I would know this stuff . . . Sometimes I am the rookie around here

You might give KX- PX 10 to 25 a try. This setup rewards technicley correct skiing much like ZO and gives a similar throttle reaction to  the current C settings. If you are on the handle too soon/ on too late you will not find any forgiveness. I have yet to find a benifit to practicing 16.80s and maintaining a tightline with PP and then hopping on a ZO boat. BˇW did I see you down as designaed announcer at the last SkiWest tourneys ? I'll be the guy with Washington plates.

I am one of the lucky skiers that AWSA has not forgotten. I still have an old perfect pass with a switch. I can put in an awful setting of ++ 40 and make zero off work. I guess the question is why do we have to set our PP at the worst settings to get a similar ride. Don't worry Obama will save us, just like health care and the economy. He will step in and make PP supreme.

I use KX- PX10 and run my weight 100 lbs overweight. I reset the baseline down 100 RPM to make the times work out. I did this regularly before ZO (I was too lazy to reset the baseline so I bumped the weight and always used KX- PX10 anyhow). The transition to ZO C was easy for me. But I can run passes on ZO A as well. I can't get Stargazer or PP Classic with a broken switch to work for me at all. My boat is a 2004 MC.

ZO is great for tricks.

Funny . . . I really thought I was skiing softer boats and it was screwing my head up. Now I think that the darn Elite is just so good that it makes all boats feel soft. No Joke. No longer messing with boat settings. Just trying to get to 39
