Baller_ RichardDoane Posted August 23, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted August 23, 2013 skied A1+ all last winter just because it was cool/new, but went back to just A1 in May and feels way better (less speed) coming into 2 ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 23, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2013 I used it for a month. I like it better on some boats. Sucks with stronger boats.

Baller A_B Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 On our weak 2007 SN, I like A1+ better than C2, which I found by process of elimination last year. It gives me a great gate without working too hard, and feels much softer, and for whatever reason, timing is better. Old A1 seemed to pull me over going into the buoys. Hated it. I found that with +, my normal gate would send me zinging way too wide and hot at one ball. I thank @Ed_Johnson for the recommendation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sbink Posted August 23, 2013 Members Share Posted August 23, 2013 B2+.Seems to help me get further downcourse before the ZO tug of war starts. I received negative feedback from my boatcrew with plus because i was getting 2 power surges from the engine at the wake crossing.If I ski smoother and just work behind the boat the engine surges are reduced.The boat is a 2013 200 5.7..

Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 Haven't had the opportunity. Sounds like it could be interesting though. I'm trying not to pull so hard (like a big guy), so I will probably not use it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 As far as I can tell, it's just a slightly hot gate, but if used correctly, you should be in control through the gates if anywhere in the course, and then ZO will back down a tad in the course to come in at actual. Sort of my random theory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted August 24, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted August 24, 2013 After reading Will Bush's presentation on ZO, I might try it again. I had tried going from C2 to C2+. But, the presentation seems to show that A1+ is the next logical progression after C3. So, I might want A1+. I think going from C2 to C2+ is somewhat of a quantum leap rather than an incremental adjustment. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller skibug Posted August 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2013 The poll question is absent of my real answer. I tried it and liked it enough to ski it for a few weeks by ultimately went back. I was/am a C2 guy. I rode B2+ for 3 weeks or so; then went back to C2. I could ski either setting with about the same amount of success; but, in the end C2 felt better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JohnN Posted August 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2013 For me (C2 -> C2+), it made the boat much less of a factor. Like @sbink, I seem to be able to get downcourse or even finish the pass before feeling ZO force the rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted August 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2013 I was a C2 skier for years and tried B1+. Used that most all summer, recently have been using C1. So not a real appropriate choice in the poll for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScarletArrow Posted August 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm 165lbs and a 22off skier...it wasn't designed for me, so I don't see the need to waste a couple of sets experimenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
