I found only slightly less grip taking the dowel out, better comfort and a slightly easier adaption from conventional gloves.

Now put it back into a ski and see if you can run a pass with it.

@Wish I'm using a slightly curved Intow handle as well, not sure what the diameter is but its not large. To get used to the feel I did quite a bit of dry land handle work, by the time I hit the water I knew pretty much what to expect. Does anyone know why Clincher is no longer in business? There seems to be a pretty good market for this style of glove.

So the last 2 seasons I've had to endure some down time due to some elbow and forearm issues, Minor but enough to disrupt my skiing for weeks at a time. I decided it was time to try the Radar Vice gloves and I'm glad I did, for those of us that are getting a bit older these gloves are gold. I've had one set (dowel removed) and I'm sold. I will be buying two pairs and I hope these gloves never go out of style! My advice to anyone with arm / elbow tendon issues would be to try a set of these gloves as soon as you can, it does not take more than a pass or three to get used to the way they feel. Nice work Radar.

I'm probably at about the 10 - 12 set mark on the Denali, taking a pause to let a forearm injury heal but I can only offer positive comments about the ski. Coming off D3 my first set was an eye opener but some quick adjustments and the second set I ran within 2 balls of my season best to date. I'm still fine tuning with the help of the Adam (s) but here are a couple of things that I feel on the ski - I've found myself with a lot of space in front of the ball both sides, this takes some adapting to, what to do when I'm this early - relearn my timing. I also took the ski into my first tournament of the year and ran a 34 MPH PB in some pretty gusty conditions. I'm sold, my feeling is that its only going to get better as I fine tune and adjust my timing to work with the ski. One other observation, what I thought I knew about fin adjustments to some extent goes out the window with this ski, and I'm an A2 convert..

My doctor has a tournament PB much lower than mine so his advice gets filtered to some extent. Pirates of the Caribbean - "them be just guidelines"

Gator bite? Would that mean a score of 4.5 or 5 or re ride?

Whats a current example of a ski fail listed on SIA?
