@Jason Kurth I won't go much into waxes but to something else when you say "I notice other racers glide better than me on flats". In alpine waxes, ptex, structures etc. play much smaller role then people imagine. Ability to glide and keep ski perfectly flat is much more important then perfect wax, same goes for getting turn right, and I'm talking about WC level, which means on lower levels it's all just worse, and waxes are even less important. Of course if you do everything right, right skis, right structure and right wax can still decide if you are first or second, but in reality, there's pretty much no single run in whole season, that is done perfectly.
Another thing... few years ago, they made research where they found out ski is gliding flat on whole Wengen downhill, which is super long and fits more into glide downhills, for whole 7 seconds. All other 2min and 20seconds skis were on edges. And right waxes and structure comes to play the most only during those short 7 seconds. During other 2min 20sec, speed and end result depends way more on skiers ability to control ski, make perfect turn, get gates right etc, then on waxing. And this is about downhill, so you can see why noone, even on World cup, bothers with fluoro ovelays for SL and GS races
So I would dare to bet anything that "others glide better then you" simply because they are better gliders then you, not because they have better wax.
But Toko vs. Swix... For years Toko and Swix are same company. Whole bunch of research is done in same labs, their racing services wear red (Swix) and yellow (Toko) clothes, but they work together, and they share things. Sure waxes are still a bit specific and not same stuff with different branding, and both put more into xc then in alpine (also because waxes are way more important at xc then in alpine), but personally I would say their system, Toko nor Swix, is overly complicated. But there's two things, and they don't depend on wax company. First, waxes that cover huge temperature range are fine for recreational stuff, but have basically nothing to do in racing. And second, it's pretty much impossible to hit really perfect wax without whole bunch of testing, which noone can afford by him/herself. This is done with enough people, with enough time and with enough equipment (calibrated skis, bunch of waxes to pick from etc.). Most of time same company combo (for example Swix base, Swix overlay) won't be fastest option. So you mix all sort of waxes for example Toko and Maplus HF waxes for base, and then Swix overlay on top... something what noone of company race service would ever suggest
And to find out right combo, you need time and money.
So personally I suggest to keep stuff as simple as possible for "home" use, and especially in alpine, concentrate way more on your own skiing technique then on wax. It brings way more , and on the end, it's even cheaper
