I felt the same when I mounted the third binding on my Scottybobs. Then I upgraded other pair of skis to NTN and couldn’t resist to mount the Axls that came out of them on the Scottybobs. I don’t use them very often and they are pretty old so it’s not a bid deal. But I trust that 4th mount, even if some holes ended up pretty close to previous ones. I guess if you are the kind of guy that rip bindings off the skis you will anyway, and not if you are not.. that would be my scientific analysis...banerjek wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 10:50 amI think I read it's identical, you're just back half a centimeter -- I am seriously considering this option. The main thing holding me back is not weight per se but fear of not having a secure enough mount. I had different bindings before I installed the HHs about 8 years ago and worry that too much messing around might weaken something.Montana St Alum wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 10:04 amI don't know the answer to this, but how close is the 22 Designs Axl hole patter to the HammerHead?
If very close, you could just swap out bindings, save money and stay with a ski you know and love.
Axls are great bindings, I personally don’t find that the difference in performance with NTN is that big, it is with many other 75mm bindings but Axls can be adjusted very strong but remain consistent. If you like them really tight maybe it’s a bit difficult to close the heel lever, that would be the only concern.
