Glad to hear you're making progress. By "pushing you forward", do you mean it shifts your CG forward due to forward lean, or relative heel height? Have you measured how high your heel/toe are on both set ups to see if there is a difference? That would at least determine how much of a shim you need....

Skied the NTNs yesterday. still a little tight in the left foot but not so incredibly painful I can't ski. The next thing to worry about is how I feel like the boot/binding setup is pushing me forward. Where I ski on my Hammerheads/Syner-G's is a bit further back, I feel, than the OutlawX/VooDoos. I...

Given the difficulty of adjusting telemark boot dimensions in the toe area, I think it would be easier to adjust heel and arch fit. I went from Syner-G's to Scarpa Tx and I didn't see much difference, but of course, ymmv. It may just be time to return the Scotts if they'll refund your money. The Sy...

Skied the Scott Voodoo NTN boots tonight with my old Garmont liners. Feet hurt even worse. Took two runs then left the resort because it felt like I was going to throw up from the pain. I think that maybe when the liners pack out they might work. Maybe. Wwyd? Go to the bootfitter and have them work ...

The TX Pros had plenty of room in the toe area (better than the Scotts) but the arch of my foot and heel was way too tight, so my Boot fitter advised the Scotts. Now if I could get the toe box of the TX pro with the arch and heel of the Scott I'd be golden. I am half tempted to burn these Scotts in ...

Skied the setup yesterday. I am getting used to the more forward lean and when it's too much, I just change the boot over to 'walk' mode for a bit. The biggest issue here is the pressure on my little toe. I need the boots to be wider right about where the bellows is on the 'little toe' side. This is...

I started telemark skiing back in 2007 after a friend passed. I've been running Garmont Ener-G boots that I had custom fit back in the day. They are really showing their age. My setup has been the Ener-G's with Hammerheads on a PM Gear Bro 179 mid-fat ski. The Ener-G's fit amazing. I'd describe the ...

I went up yesterday and did some practice following recommendations. I moved the cable guides back on my hammer heads to the number 2 position, making them very neutral. I was dropping lower and tucking my rear foot more. That was a work out! I got on some steeper terrain (blues) and started blowing...

Thanks for your kind words and help! I did get the paul parker book and I am starting to go through it. I don't really call myself a beginner as I have been teleskiing (badly) since 2007 but haven't been putting the time or effort into it like I have been this year. Most of my friends snowboard or a...

So, other than quieting down my upper body, anything else, or do I need to post some video showing me more to the side?
