bullsey, you might be letting go of the handle too early.Try to get into a slalom course rhythm. Start out left, Edge through the wakes , change edges somewhere around the second wake, keep the handle with both hands as the ski travels "away" from the boat gradually [on left edge], slowly release the handle out to turn, then back in as you start to travel to the left again. Feel the rhythm, maybe even count.Keep it going, think smooth, mellow. 1,, 2,, 3, 4, 1,, 2,, 3, 4 . The Goode is probably a better ski at this point. When you can, try to get some good coaching if near a ski school or a visiting coach comes to your town. Or do a ski vacation.Living on a lake! Nice.
