JB I've found exactly what you stated regarding feedback..having skied different rockered skis, I must say you CAN without a doubt feel if you're too far back on the skis...the tails on many just disappear. The feedback is MOST certainly there. AND I BELIEVE, rocker skis DO NOT promote poor technique...that's just too broad of a statement for me to agree to. Having said that, my Rocker Rossi S3's have a tail that is way more supportive than the JJ's and actually allows you to feel the support and carved edge when arched....having only flexed the DPS, it has similar tail flex to the S3.
BUT not to confuse my point, Rocker Skis are a specific tool that CAN be skied using PMTS skills as any ski can, some certainly better than others, your point to the SS Supershapes. I would rather state that skiing THE CONDITIONS that I would use the rocker ski in, I use a plethra of ski tools as the conditions dictate and will only ski a fat ski, rockered or otherwise that allows me to use the PMTS and Clendenin tools I own. If I can't apply them to that ski, the ski goes bye bye. Reasons I got rid of the Water 94 and JJ's.
So to the point as it applies to me, if I can't bring the magic to the ski, there's is no magic on the snow.
Best, g
