Its a solution for 9 degrees...    Well again its a bit high... But mainly its a comfort thing and I have a wide stance so its a bit easier at that angle..  and it does help you get forward on the really steep stuff...  I guess you just had to be there....  With the blocks on the F2 bindings its about the same 9 degrees of Kevin Bacon...

From the advice of @SunSurfer, I just started using 56cm wide this season and loving it! I'm 190cm tall with normal leg length and proportions for my height.

I've been in this position many times, myself. I feel your pain. 🤣

9 degree cant disc, offset to binding baseplate, is a solution for appropriate lift and outward cant combo for skwal riders.

Thought that might be the case. When's the first round of testing?

Not to throw a wooden shoe into your cogs, but one of the primary causes of being late into a turn, especially on the steeps, is too much lift at the rearmost  attachment point; that being true of both ski boots and hardboots/bindings.

Difficulty ending one turn usually leads to difficulty starting the next. Usually more noticeable the further across the fall line one aims to go.

 Perhaps. Is the disco stack Skwal bound?

Oh boy.. Don't make me draw it out on paper on why it works for me... Ha.

Please use crayon. Preferably a discontinued color so I know you mean it.

 And maybe some of that grainy construction paper from the art room.

 

You're on a project, so my observation is just something for the back of the helmet. 

In the event you get to scheming about 12 degrees to tasty bacon...
