OK so I went from 67.5 sixam SS with double animal to 66.5 A2 with reflex front and animal rear. Ive been skiing at 15 off 58kph and last weeknd cut to 22off for the 1st time this season and ran 4.
This weekend changed the ski and I had 2 sets yesterday and 2 today and it was really very strange. I missed my 1st 2 starts out of the water!! and then couldn't get round 15 off at 52kph at the beginning today I was struggling to get round 15off at 55kph but ran it a couple of times.
The ski turns like a rocket and is super stable and even on both sides. My offside has never been so good and I stepped on the front a couple of times and the ski just kept going and sort of rolled me back into position. So turns felt great but having said that, I wasn't getting the ski on edge and I was not getting any speed through the wakes and so was very narrow in the course. A couple of times I really felt like the ski was slapping the wakes rather than cutting through. I'm assuming this is just the learning curve with the reflex but everything just felt quite jumpy and I didn't feel a nice smooth connection between me the ski and the water, more dull and empty, sounds a bit wierd but its the only way I can describe it. I also got very tired quickly and the 2nd set today I had no energy.
Any reflex users remember similar problems when switching over. Also I always had my double animal both pointing straight but someone said with the reflex being so stiff I should really cant the rear a bit?
