It will sound maybe silly, but I am not really sure why
Mostly because I read that this is important and gives better weight distribution on heelside edge.
I also read that pads with canting also help.
I also read that pivot "suspension" at Now Bindings also help.
I can not check any of those , if this is marketing shit or pure truth - in Poland you can not rent top bindings and test them.
I ride for 20years, I had many boards, and each of them behaved completely different. But all bindings gave pretty simillar effect.
So now I wanted to buy binding that will give me as much added value as possible.
I know that I can make toeside Exteme carv on any binding for 50$.
But on heelside I have some problems.
And If :
- highback rotation at Rome
- Skate pivot suspension at Now
- arc form highback with spring at PHK
Or carbon fiber, nylon, kevlar, steel, titanium or space dust offered by anyone else can give me 5 or 10% , I want to take it.
I am interested in best soft boot binding that helps at extreme carving on heelside.
P.S. does a 3rd strap gives you a lot on heelside ?
Wonder why no manufacturer has it as an option...
