Thanks again for the help. But unfortunately I have tried both of those. Even though no error codes were showing I switched the pucks round because apparantly they only use on puck at a time and thought It could just be a faulty puc when that didn't work I then replaced one with a brand new one. Still no joy.

Thanks Gloerson, I've actually already tried both of those but with no prevail. Like I said the times are fine and the boat feels ok in the course so I'm not worrying too much. However it would be nice to find out what's going on as it seems only a handful of people are getting the same thing happen.

It's not your course...Ours does the exact same thing (very annoying). What boat are you running? I know the speeds are ok but what concerns me is if the course isn't mapped quite right is the boat giving the skier gas in the right place?

I feel your pain…. Ive had the same issue for years. The ironic part is that I get it in my left elbow from Slalom in the season and my right playing squash in the winter. Have you tried changing handles? I moved on to a handle with a much larger diameter (largest I could find) and it really helped. I also heard of people with the same issue moving to smaller handles with the same result. Im not saying it will cure it %100 but I'd say for the sake of borrowing someones handle for a couple of sets could be worth a try?

Thanks guys..Ill see how I get on changing a puc over. Then Ill have a mess around with props if that doesn't work. Also does anyone know how to delete saved mapped slalom courses?

I have recently bought a replacement SN 200 5.7 for our ski school in the UK. Despite everyone loving our 2010 model we have had a few comments that the new boat is feeling "hot" in the slalom course. The times are coming out fine and the diagnostics page can't find a fault. I spoke to ZO and they suggested swapping the puc's round but this hasn't seemed to work either. I am currently waiting for some replacement puc's to arrive that Im going to try out. In the meantime I wondered if any one out there has had a similar problem and weather changing the puc's is the right option or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Interesting. Thanks guys.

Taking the load and generating speed early to create "space" before the ball makes allot of sense. Do you think this is a technique best suited to shorter lines though? I imagine skiers on longer lines run the rest of over-loading too early and having to let off before the wakes.

I go with slow. I find being right foot forward taking a mellow turn and thinking about progressively building speed helps me control my approach to one. However there are obviously benefits to loading early but personally I find it difficult. I think as a rule of thumb for longer line skiers taking a aggressive approach to the gate could do more harm than good….just my opinion though.

I watched the video and I have to say I agree with most of the comments about your hips and bending your front leg. I dont know if you've tried this already but elevating your back foot slightly should help you feel a bit more comfortable on the ski. I broke my back ankle and as a consequence have limited movement in it someone recommended that I placed a piece of plastic the width of a small chopping board cut to shape under my RTP and i immediately felt more comfortable Ive since changed back but I skied with it for a few years and it helped me. I can't imagine that it will dramatically change your skiing but it should help you feel more balanced.
