Update.? Last July in response to the question about whether the new Lange race boots were still rotary,? HH responded
non rotary boots:
Lange
Head Raptor
Dalbello (new race)
Nordica
Fischer (hard to set up)
Rossignol
Todd,
Good find. I?m reaching, but, memory tells me HH?s major issue with Lange was excessive forward lean as he prefers a more upright boot to support a relaxed upper body.
Devil that I am, just having some fun with Ron?s findings that skiing in a boot more in line with HH thinking has improved his skiing. Perhaps also a little payback for a Mangy Moose session when cough Ron cough was sitting next to Flexon Phil and ranting words to the effect ? No way I?m skiing some stiff 130 flex and getting punished jibing around or doing small cliffs?. LP was on the butt end of that discussion. Ron, if I?m taking some of the polish off your new acquisition, I apologize.
And when I fall in love with a fat ski, I expect full payback.
There?s a world of really good skiers who love Dalbello. I?m not going to play in that war, we?re all just one data point. Still, I?m interested in the experiences of Phil and Trish. If I were a betting person, I?m thinking Phil misses Dalbello. We?ll see.
