Good point, thanks!

I am considering that but don't really know how long I should ride the Animals before I try the Vapors again? I've run 28 off in the Animals and 2.5 @ 28 off in the Vapors, although I am smoother and get far less slack at the ball in the Animals (at least for now).

I recently went from Animals to Vapors and had the exact same thing happen at 15 off....ran right past the ball and could not make the ski turn. After a couple of sets I am adapting to the boots but am tempted to go back to the Animals for a while since it is also a new ski.

Thanks for the feedback! Boot and/or fin adjustments are new territory for me and I just want to make sure I am heading in the correct direction. Looks like Plan "C" won't be an option until at least early July now.

Hi, first time posting here but been lurking for about a year and loving the site! I'm 60 years old (6'2" & 185 lbs, LFF) and have been skiing off and on for 40+ years but skied my last tournament back in the 80s. I'm trying to get back in the game and recently bought a 67" HO Superlite CX with Vapor boots (Thanks Performance Ski and Surf!). I'm 6 sets into the ski at 32 mph and 2 sets into the boots. Love the ski and ran a PB 6 @ 28 off on my second set (would have taken a stab at 32 except for that pesky jet ski). I seem to be having a harder time adjusting to the new boots (came off of Animals) and am having trouble turning the onside balls at 28 and beyond as I am carrying too much speed into the ball and getting slack.
My question is should I move the front boot forward one hole; or put a bit more angle in the wing; or, wait until I can ski with Matt Rini in the next couple of weeks so that he can start to fix some of my bad habits? Here is my setup:
Boots at 29.37" (Spec calls for 29.5" but with my ski (animals or Vapors) it's either 29.37" or 29.62"
6.848
2.468
0.746
7 degrees
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
