  1. Brenda's handles and lines have stood-up great. Easy to customize and great variety. InTow Rocks.
  2. Had some great days but they treated the course area for milfoil and haven't flushed any water thru. Too nasty to get in.
  3. I switched from an F1 to this ski this year and also bought into the Stealth hard shells. Big change!!!! I felt like I was on a trick ski on my first ride mainly because the ski was so much more reactive. I trusted the set-up (not factory) and figured I had a bit of a learning curve to go thru. Not my best season but I find that the ski is there for me when I get it right. Lots of fun. 210 lbs 34 mph. 28 off
  4. Learning how to keep my shoulders square to the boat or, down course was more of a self preservation technique than anything else. I cut my yard sale falls by 90% which made it a lot more fun to work on other stuff. Maybe coaches are stressing that aspect to get skiers to get their center of gravity (hips) down course thru the wakes for best loading. It starts with the eyes then rolls on down to head, shoulders and hips. I haven't looked at a lot of pictures of short line skiers to validate this but did notice it in a couple. They may not have level or square shoulders but the hips at least seem to be. They (thru instinct or muscle memory) keep the stack in the correct place.
  5. Have any of you recovering Achilles tendon sufferers had any numbness in your foot?
  6. Hey guys, you can add 1 more to the list. My wife ruptured hers last Sat., complete tear. Surgury w/in 3 hours and so the process begins. She is not a happy camper but will be diligent w/the PT. Mike T and I discussed on e-mail. Mike, good to hear your out of your cast but I was looking forward to taking a pix of the two of you at the score table on the 8th. You with the left up and her w/the right on pillows. She did it going around 2 ball. Didn't hit the ball but just kind of layed it over and skipped a couple of times on her side. Her back (left) foot came out leaving the front to fend for itself. Stoker dbl boots, pretty snug but not as much as some. I've just changed to Connely Stealth with the plate. Have had a couple of bad falls out the front this year while getting used to the new set-up but the plate release left no impression of torque or injury to my knees or ankles. Have hit a few balls and still no stress. The front hard cuff seems to prevent knee forward ankle jam before the heal of the plate releases. I've released from the toe as well hard enough to break the tab off and still no problem. (Obviously, I suck but still like to try)! Keep the thread going! Good read for those in the same boat. PS. We WILL be going to new balls of some kind by next year.
