Binding placement

|

Realskiers.com may have it down when they say that most skis have their bindings placed by the manufacturer too far back. There is a technique called, Ball of the foot method that the pros use to get the ball of your foot exactly at the center of gravity. You basically find the exact center of the skis geometrically, then you put on your shell (no inner liner), then you tap the sidwall until you find the skier's ball of his foot. Then you place the binding, so the ball of the foot and the center of the ski are in exactly the same place. Alternatively, you find someone with a Campbell Balance Machine and do the same thing.
