Ski for some that skis from neutral to back

[nate93]

Any suggestions for a ski that favors a guy who skis with shoulders back? Currently on a prophecy but it's hard to keep the tip engaged across the course. Currently running mid -38 @ 34 moh

@Nate93 Radar has the flat section of the ski further back than any other brand. Their goal is to promote width with this design, but it also favors skiers who tend to use the back of the ski.

@nate93 when you say back do you mean not stacked across the wakes? Hips behind bindings?

[nate93]

@Horton no hips are between bindings with handle tight but closer to rear binding. I just would like to engage more ski than I am currently. I just feel like it's easy to ride the tail too much.

Considering what Regina looked like before and after, in terms of tip rise, maybe the Nano One is a candidate?

[Horton]

@nate93 if your really hips are up I am confused. post pictures

[nate93]

@horton....hope this worked

[Horton]

@nate93 I do not think you are really back.

For that first image I do not know how much further forward you would want to be.

 

That Connelly rides a little tip high. I think can can ride what ever ski you want.

John, you and I talked about this subject awhile back when we spoke on the phone if you recall the conversation at all. I tend to ski more back on the ski and for me the Strada was an exersize in frustration (couldn't turn the off side worth a s__t) so I went back to the MPD/RS1 design Radar's, which work way better for my particular skiing style. Which when I did I immediately went back to skiing with much better consistancy (read - I can turn the offside on it). If memory serves you suggested I might like a Razor i.e. which would work better for neutral/back skier. I'm thinking nate93 might be more like me, skiing over the center to a bit back on the ski (I do it out of fear of yet another henious, shoulder dislocating OTF). This help you in the suggestion dept any?

[Horton]

Yea the Razor is one of the skis that is not super sensitive to forward/ backwards weight distribution.

 

D3 Fusion is a killer ski but if you are not centered I do not recommend it.

 

The Goode Nano One is an option. I do not think of the Strada as being finicky in this way but everyone is different.

 

The HO A2 makes it easy to move forward and the S2 is again not super sensitive. I like the S2 better but I think most really elite skiers like the A2 better.

 

My point to @nate93 is I do not think he is really very far back. In the end you want to try skis if you can.
