It is also very difficult to describe timing. High/fast tipping slows everything down and makes high edge angles impossible if you do it too fast/too early.
I find that often it is better to ask my skiers to try to delay edge engagement until the CoM is low enough, which coincides with high edge angles if you do it properly.
There are many ways to look at the transition and speed thereof. SL skiers often go directly from full edge set to full edge set while completely unweighted in transition. Because I almost always use a weighted transition and roll very fast, I am almost as fast but with constant carving. What you are saying means to me that you are using a delayed transition to shape the turn where the ski is at its lowest point of tipping and therefore less a less critical maneuver. I rather shape the turn in turn phase two and three where tipping reaches its peak and where I am more able to choose the direction of release.
Versatility is a prize; seeking to do things the way others do them is a good thing.
I agree that versatility is key but not necessarily by skiing like other people. At a certain point in skill dev and to a certain degree there are too many variables in trying to match other skier's movements. Modeling can be very helpful for levels from beginners to advanced intermediates. As an expert, modeling other skiers loses its value significantly. The better we get, the more lonely the path of development becomes.
