I was advised recently to fold up a bit of ski map (about 1 millimeter thick) and put it on top of the anti-friction device on the front of my binding. This was in response to feeling like I was in the back seat and having trouble getting my edges in, among other things (btw I am 6'2", weigh 190 pounds, have a 28.5 boot with BSL of 325. Bindings are Marker Griffon, ski is 185cm, 92cm underfoot).
I couldn't believe such a small change would have such a big impact. The difference in my skiing was immediate. My posture felt so much better and the level of control I had increased dramatically.
Having never heard of delta angle until I had this experience (it took me a few googles to even figure out that was what it was called), I have been reading through the large amount of information on the forum but I had a couple of additional quick questions:
- Is there any risk in putting a shim on top of the AFD from a safety perspective (e.g. effecting the bindings releasing in a crash?)
- I was going to experiment by adding another 1mm at a time. Is there any advice on how high a person should go, or is it just trial and error until you feel you have found the sweet spot?
Thanks for any advice you might have!
