@Holeshot I'm pretty sure the Fisher is a derivative from the earlier Goodes. You shouldn't go wrong with say Goode 9970, the present model I believe is closest in shape to the earlier ones. I'm pretty sure I will be corrected here if my assumption is completely wrong :smile:

@AdamCord for reference, what is Cales’s and your aporoximate weight?

Cale Burdick didn't look like he was on a Denali?

My family and I had a great time skiing at Swiss last week. Clint and family did a superb job even though we weren't really lucky with the weather, we surely will be back at some stage. Can highly recommend it!

My wife and I were members when I was working in London 2000-2001, great memories. It was an eight ball course then, now the lake is lengthened so a six ball course works. Very nice setting with the pub in one end. To become members we had to prove we were keen skiers, the proof was skiing every Saturday over winter (we passed the test).... I did a brief visit in August when I was in UK for work. Met the club chairman Steve Sopp by the lake, had a nice chat. Pics from August-19

 

@epnault Sorry, I wasn't reading your post closely enough. What you are looking for would be interesting for me too.

Think that's what you´re looking for?

Thomas is a great guy and a great coach, I have skied with him at his place in Italy. I wish I could be away for two weeks at that time of year to do this tour, Italy is fantastic!!

@horton from earlier in this thread...

 

Just got notified of this Caldwell youtube clip. Looks like 32-41 off.

I have Stargazer with Zbox. Had a problem with screen turning upside down or going completely blank. After consulting PP I disconnected the depth sounder and that solved the problem. I guess @Monkstr6100 's problem is different though, but my tip might help someone else.

 

Going to Swiss for a week end of Feb, great to hear positive reviews!

@adamhcaldwell the guys skiing well at 22-35 off with the new settings, what letters do they tend to use on ZO?

@AdamCord @Skierx , Thanks, I’ve measured from the point you suggest, maybe I was unclear in my description. I have both binders on one single plate so I have put a piece of a tape measure on the ski under the back part of the plate. After that it’s a piece of cake to move your front boot location

 

@adamhcaldwell ; I have the same question as @CReckard. I measure just below the black part on the boot that supports the actual binding, is that how you do it? Pic of my Reflex below

 

 

@Jonwilkinson What's your view on ReVOcc please?

 

@adamhcaldwell , I also sent a message and awating response?

@Wish , thanks man, that made my mind up!

@skialex They are not wood screws... They are SS machine screws and the nuts under the plate are flat brass ones that fit into the slot on the underside of the one piece carbon plate. Plate and nuts all bought from Reflex years back except the SS machine screws that needed to be longer. SuperShell 4.0 bindings, boots and R-style rear all bought this fall. I have had similar setup on my previous ski for at least 10 years, see last pic. Binding plate on old ski mounted on superstrong interloc, it's the bindings that release, not the plate.

 

 

@TacoMan "@stefan do you generate a considerable amount of pressure at the boot cuff and has your set up generated any pre releases?"

No and no.

I don't really see why it would generate more pressure on the cuff to have the boot angled forward a little, I would imagine less? Alpine skiing bindings are all higher in the heel than in front.

 

@TacoMan - My setup, as @jpattigr , I beleive in equal too.

@Horton , in my opinion I think you are wrong. As an example, look at the pictures of good skiers in full lean just before center line, they all have their front of the forward knee in front of the front toes? If you can't accomplish that because of restrictions in ankle flexibility the only way to get your knee forward is to have a heel lift as @TacoMan and I myself have (because of same reason as @TacoMan ). You are bound to be to far back on the ski otherwise. My belief @TacoMan is that you need to raise the back heel as much as the front to be in balance. Before I raised the heels I got hurt in the ankles when I got forced kneebend in stressed situations. I can't ski without it. I'm not a high level skier, but still, raised heel made it possible to ski for me without risk of getting injured because of forced ankle angle higher than my limit.

Can someone describe the difference in skiing characteristics in general between ReVO, XTR and 9970, the three present models now upgraded to carbon core? I know @Chad_Scott have answered similar questions before?

@powbmps That's the quote, that's all I can say. Below the quote they first sent by mistake for the wake model, it's the same there;
