Baller Rup Posted November 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have just spotted this on the advert banner on the left - more fore/aft movement - looks perfect for me! Just sent an email to Reflex...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller EricKelley Posted November 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2011 Got one and have only used once, but felt good to me. I had to cut the cuff off the old ones to be able to extend my foot. Think it is good we'll see next year. Looks like Reflex is trying to create a better product all the time.

Baller Rup Posted November 8, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted November 8, 2011 I had the one before this and it hurt my back so I switched back to the old style (with a new cleat) and the pain went away. Still not cut the other one up but I won't need to now! I thought the new boot might look good with a new S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Sethski Posted November 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have now used it for 2 sets and I think it is better than my previous. I never rode the 2011 shell just because I was still using my old shell that matched up with my Reflex 404 Release Unit. Using the white cuff boot is the same as my original, but the tab is removed from inside the heel cuff. This gave me a little more flex back and forth which I was a bit leary of, but it seemed to smoothe out the carve through the finish of the turns. I put the flexion strap on its longest setting so it wasn't a factor while I skied. Nice to see Reflex putting a foot forward. Makes the product easier to ride and therefore easier to sell.

Baller ForrestGump Posted November 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2011 Seth, I'm gong off on a tangent a bit. But I tried a 2011 reflex(not the white) to see if I liked it any better than my Powershells. I swear, I felt like I was all dart, no feathers. I was an unguided missle on it. Coming off the 2nd wake, the ski felt like it was all over the place. Like it was coming back into me and flopping around. Any ideas? Would a flexion strap make any difference? I had my heels in the same spot as I did with the powershells, as far as I could tell. On the Reflex, I struggled to run 22 and 28 off when I would typically run mid 35 on the powershells.

Baller Marco Posted November 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2011 Shane- I felt the same way the first few sets when I switched from rubber to the Reflex 4 years ago. My first day skiing on it I was thinking I made a mistake. My ski was all over the place and I could barely run my opener. I stayed with it though, and after about 5 or 6 sets, I really started liking it. I think the difference for me was that my ski was so much more sensitive to minute lateral movement of my ankles with the Reflex than with my D3's, and it took me a few sets to get used to that extra sensitivity. That extra sensitivity turned into very refined control after I got used to it. Give it chance, and I bet you'll end up loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller EricKelley Posted November 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 9, 2011 When you move forward, flex your ankle, you can apply tip pressure when the strap limits forward flexion. May also be helpful keeping the achilles in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
