Baller jhughes Posted July 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2019 I tried to switch to the new "Blackout" overlay on my D3 Leverage binding (previous overlay wore out) and it is different enough to have caused a systematic failure in my ability to ski the course, I'm barely making my opener mid-season which is really depressing. The new material is many times softer and lower on the ankle so the binding feels like a slipper, zero support. Wish I would have known that before ordering the overlay, it's night and day.

Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2019 I think the TFactor wrap goes straight on and then you have a Tfactor superb binding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted July 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have a friend that I setup his skis that has a stash of laced Leverages, some still new but all the overlays are toasted and then we found some that where sitting on a store shelf for years. They didn’t last either. Saying that if you find stock they would probably be sitting on the shelf for years, they won’t last. Tried the black out overlays, to soft and moved to T-Factors and now love them and saying that he should have changed years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jhughes Posted July 24, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted July 24, 2019 @skialex good to know. I tried the T-factor last year and couldn't get it to work for me. I must have some technique flaw that the Leverage compensates for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted July 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2019 @jhughes I think you should give the t-factor another try. After all the only difference is the overlay and the instep rubber piece and is laterally stiffer than the Leverage with the new overlay. Ok I know the t-factor overlay makes it a totally different boot but think about it as very similar to the old Leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller perfski Posted July 25, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2019 I have some XS rear Boots left if you need smalls or XS's...but going to be very hard to find these. We hope to have some Animal Overlays in August as an option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 26, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2019 I pull the laces pretty tight on my Tfactor have always come out when necessary, caviat just my own personal experience, when I went from leverage to Tfactor my skiing improved.

Baller GAJ0004 Posted July 26, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2019 The Leverage Blackouts are garbage. I put the old leverage overlays on them, and they are working now, but I messed up by right ankle and foot on the blackouts. Not enough upper ankle support. They need to bring back the old leverage overlays.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
