    2015 Connelly GT vs 2016 question

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    Posted

    Although I have no experience on either GT 15 or 16 I can pretty well tell you it will tire you just as soon , the high end slaloms regardless of brand are designed to turn 6 balls where the "crossover" skis , Senate & C , HO CX and CX SL , Connelly V and V carbon ride higher in the water and subsequently do not tire you as soon. FWIW I am 46 and am looking at a HO A2 ... yes I will tire quicker but the trade off for me is worth it , less sets but at higher performance. I think you are likely already on the right ski for you. If I could find a CX SL or Senate C I would be buying them. That being said , how much for your 2011 Senate C ? :)

    HO EXO Binding sizes ... WTF !?!?

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    Can anyone confirm what sizes the exo bindings came in , specifically 2011 or did they not change ? @savaiusini you have been a big help so far in my inquiries into this ski I am considering but I have little to no knowledge on the product. The seller says they are 9/10 , some sites I see list 8-9 , 10-11, 12-13 so I am just confused . Please HELP !!!

    How to measure ski length ?

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    Hi Ballers , if anybody can help I know you can. I am looking at a 2012 HO A2 , however the seller says no tag on it to state the ski length. He put a tape on it and from tip to tail on top sheet not following curve in the ski it is 65.5 , when he follows the curve of ski on bottom it is 66.5 . I suspect you do not follow curve. I am kinda bummed cause I want the ski however not bad enough to ride one that is too short. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

    2016 Radar Vector Boot sizing

    Hi Ballers , perhaps I am missing it but can someone please give me the sizing for the 2016 Radar Vector boots ? I see Small , Standard and XL, but never seem to see what sizes these fit. Thanks in advance . Also @Horton I am coming over from D3 leverage dual boots , do you think this is advisable ? I am 46 this summer and tired of using all my energy to get the ski on rather than skiing itself. Thanks in advance , you all rock !

    Left Palm up ... do I try to switch or no ?

    Thanks for all the comments @MrJones your the odd man out it seems BUT I do recognize what you are saying AND I guess since I bat right (right palm up) Golf Right (right palm up) why should my ski grip be any different. This being said I am going to as you all suggested try it out. If my skiing suffers I can revert easily. Thanks to all contributors !

    Left Palm up ... do I try to switch or no ?

    in Technique & Theory

    Posted

    Turning 46 next week , mostly free skier with a little bit of slalom course time. 22 off @ 36 mph. @Than_Bogan just made me realize I may be ski-ing with the "incorrect" palm up. I am LFF and after watching video just discovered I have my left palm up. Skied with Kyle Eade at Ski Fluid and he never mentioned making the correction . So my question is , after 30 years of skiing this way do I make the switch ? Oh and btw I think I may of tried to change before and switched back subconsciously???

    Thoughts on HO Freeride

    I have a friend that asked me about this ski , well since it is so far removed from what I ride I had no idea on what to tell him. Can anyone offer some insight into it ? He is 6 foot and 200 pounds and wants to really just improve his open water slalom but he does like to ski 30-32 mph.
