@Horton it looks like this review is quite demanding.. I ended up (after 6-7 sets) with something close to alt1 settings but with front boot 3/16 back from factory:
0.710 slot
6.813 (jaws Goode caliper, if interested I can provide tips measurement)
2.483
28 14/16
9
@Bruce_Butterfield thanks for the input, however I am somewhat confused settings for the 9970cc are 6,780, 2.485 and 0,735 looks like you have altered all three settings, length and DFT substantially.
@Bruce_Butterfield still using the fin on the XT? Standard settings or alternative (1 or 2) and if yes, what are your current settings with the CG fin and how has changed/improved the attributes of the ski?
Guys has anybody tried the fin on an XTR or XTRCC? If yes can you share settings (with slot caliper or normal, jaws or tips, caliper) vs standard fin and how did it feel?
@AdamCord very enlightening, for many years (my coach Dimitri Kourounis urged me to do so) I am trying to implement the first, starting my turn at the first wake, but neglecting the second. The few times that I implemented the second my skiing was one level up.
@mbabiash I guess for safety and release reasons but I do not believe out of experience that it was necessary. In addition, I don't know whether by moving the top buckle down you give up on overall feeling and support.
