Kyle, 1st, re-mount your animals, put them on, and have someone mark your ski (tape will do) where the center of your ankle bone is (the part that sticks out). 2nd, mount the Radar boots so that when you're in them, your ankle measurements match the animal measurements. This may require moving the back binding closer or farther from the front than you have it now (I had to move my rear Radar binding back one hole). 3rd, if you had your rear animal rotated at all, do the same with the Radar rear. 4th, check the front Radar binding to make sure it is exactly straight on the plate. There is a little mark if you look directly at the front of the binding to line it up. Give any transition to hard shells from rubber boots at least three full weeks or 24 sets. It takes time to adjust to the fact that your movements are transmitted to the ski in a more positive mannor than the rubber bindings did. My experience: I was afraid to do too much, so I just rotated the rear about 1/8 inch and left the front straight (I thought). I had difficulty running any of my normal passes, though I could get through them. At the suggestion of a friend on hard shells, I measured where my ankles were with my rubber bindings and had to move the plate back one hole and the rear binding back one hole from the front binding to match up. I skied better immediately, but still not up to my norm. Then, at the Okeeheelee tournament two weekends ago, I talked with Chris Rossi about what I was feeling. I had my front binding medium tight and my rear just barely snug. If I wore the rear tight, I could not run a pass. He said he prefers both bindings medium tight and asked me if I rotated my rubber bindings. He suggested rotating the rear as much as the rubber binding and wearing both bindings at the same medium tightness. While rotating the rear, I checked the front and found it was actually toed in slightly rather than straight. At the suggesting of the same friend as before, I rotated the front binding 1/8 inch toward the toe. Wow! I am skiing easily as good or better than I was on my rubber bindings. Bottom line: Start with the steps to get the initial setup as close to what you had on rubber as possible. Then ski a lot and don't be afraid to try some different settings (minimum of 3 sets on each setting change with someone who knows what they're doing watching you). I'll never go back...
