gyoung Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 My brother has just purchased a 67 graphite senate. The front boot seems to be really far forward when positioned in the middle holes. Does anyone have the factory setting numbers for this ski. Thanks ballers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted February 10, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm riding the same ski and have the bindings one hole forward on a Sequence plate which puts the front boot right at 31" and it feels just fine there. 30.5 is definitely not too far forward.

Administrators Horton Posted February 10, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2017 30.5 on a semi wide 67 makes sense to me. @gyoung please never trust "middle hole". Always always always always always always measure!

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted February 10, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 10, 2017 John, You obviously noticed I used the "hole" nomenclature and an actual measurement as well? Didn't want another of your dreaded Pandas. I know how anal you with the whole "hole" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller wolfgang Posted February 11, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2017 @gyoung , how does he like the ski? What speed/length is he skiing at? More details would be appreciated as that ski is on my list of "possibles" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allycat Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 yes second that how does the ski go am also thinking of getting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 @wolfgang @allycat he runs 32 mph 15 off consistently and runs the odd 34mph. Loves the ski, stable, predictable and creates a lot of angle. @Horton @eddie_roberts_jr thanks for the advice 30.5 ended up being the middle hole.

Baller Dacon62 Posted February 11, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks for the set up numbers! My 2017 Senate Lithium is in and want to pick it up in a few days. Now I know how to set it up. Am 185, 5'11" and ski 15-22 off at mostly 34. Will keep watch for alternate settings as this ski gets riden more. Pumped to get out once winter releases her icy grip here in SW BC. @eddie_roberts_jr As I am not a shortline skier I remove the wing as I have heard that until you ski past around 28 off the wing is not really needed. I find it easier to get wide without the drag of the wing. Does this change set up recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wolfgang Posted February 12, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2017 It sounds like this might be theski for me. I'm 195 lb 5'-11. Ski mostly at 32 in the course, 22 off completed about 25% of the time. Haven't gotten too far into 28 though. Free ski about half the time, always at 34 with 28-32 off.....sometimes in lots of boat waves. Current ski is Connelly FI..... Jamie was my inspiration We're going to orlando this weekend. What ski should I demo? I don't want to remove the wing, does it matter? My 16 year old daughter " might ski" if it's a low stress site....any recommendations?? Thanks for any and all advice. Ps it's snowing heavily in toronto and we really need to get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted February 12, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2017 @Dacon62 Wing or no wing I'd go with the same fin dimensions although you should at least try it with the wing at some point. The '17 Senate is low drag to begin with so 7 or 8 degrees on the wing might feel pretty good to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
