Binding mounting? Little slot...

[TDET]

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

I would just go the old fashion way. That seems a little too far away from the heel to be 100% accurate.

[TDET]

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 :(

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.

[TDET]

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.

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.

Now, are you using the back of the plastic horseshoe? Or the rubber just above the horseshoe?

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.

What are your fin settings on the Goode? Binding location?

[TDET]

My bindings are 29.250

I have not changed the fin setting (stock). I did back off the angle

of the wing.

[ForrestGump]

This is a new ski, right? Did you check the fin as it came from Goode?

[TDET]

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.

[ForrestGump]

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"

[TDET]

Thanks ShaneH ill check them.

What are you on?

[ForrestGump]

I'm on an A2 but I was on a Goode Mid before it.
