TDET Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I am putting T-factors on my ski, my question is. There is a little slot on the plate behind the horse shoe, it looks like its for a tape. Should I use that or go to the back of the boot?? I cant find any info on the D3 web site. THANKS Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplett Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would just go the old fashion way. That seems a little too far away from the heel to be 100% accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 I used the back of the boot. Now I have to try to learn to ski on this set thing. Not having a good time after 6 sets. I hope I made the right ski choice :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted July 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2012 T-factors are pretty different, depending on what you came from. It took me a while to figure them out, but I love them now. Amazing combination of forgiveness in the turn with edge holding when you need it. But if you also changed skis, then expect some pain for a while. Changing either one is tough; changing both is completely disorienting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Than I put the T-Factors on my old ski for a week before trying my new ski. I skied good on them asap. But the new ski is no fun. It has to be me, I was hopping I would have a little better start with a new ski, but i,m going backwards. I read your post about the T-Factors and that helped pick them. I Will go back to basics tomorrow am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted July 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2012 Imho don't spend much time on a ski that isn't fitting you. There are tons of awesome skis and life is too short for trying to dial in a bad match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted July 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2012 Now, are you using the back of the plastic horseshoe? Or the rubber just above the horseshoe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 ShaneH I used the rubber above the horseshoe. Than B Went back to basics this am, 15 and 22 are fun, 28 is not.. I went from running 32off, to killing myself at 28. That 32off was on a 17 year old Connelly concept. I liked that ski, but I was stuck on it. My best was 2@38, that was back 1999 or 2000. I kinda got out of skiing for 10/11 yrs and started up last Sept. Like I said before, Im doing somthing wrong. My 28s and 32s were not that nice on the Connelly this year. I was trying to clean them up when I got the new ski. I ski only with my 13 yo son,so its hard to have someone tell me what im doing worng. Time will tell.

Baller ForrestGump Posted July 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2012 What are your fin settings on the Goode? Binding location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 My bindings are 29.250 I have not changed the fin setting (stock). I did back off the angle of the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted July 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2012 This is a new ski, right? Did you check the fin as it came from Goode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes Friday was my first day on it. 8 sets on it as of this am. I have not checked the setting. I hate to say it but my only calipers are in work and I was off last week. I never touched my old ski so fin settings will be new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted July 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2012 My experience is that Goode doesn't necessarily set their fins up to stock before shipping. To start with, I'd set it up as follows: Length = 6.820" Depth = 2.450" DFT = 0.720" Wing = 8* Front Binding = 29.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks ShaneH ill check them. What are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted July 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm on an A2 but I was on a Goode Mid before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
