Svend...this back seat position you speak of....perhaps you on the Progressor 9's?....I noticed much less of this (other than the occasional hand/arm slip back briefcase) while you were skiing the Nordica's and the Mythics.
I wonder if this could be a case possibly of the the binding location on the P9's...or possibly the input the skis take to charge the shovels compared to your other skis?
OR...are you fighting the same feeling with all the skis?
I'm also not convinced that putting 2mm inside the boot under the zeppa board is going to change enough in your hip/knee/ankle factors BUT might make you feel just enough more centered than currently. This could be a safe and interesting experiment. I did the very same thing and for me, it just felt like I had better control of the skis tip to tail. I don't feel that I lost anything with my skiing but do feel that adjustment gave me a much better "feel" of the shovels.
I must admit that I've gone about this after having my Head Raptors made 5mm more upright. This was done externally of course but really made a positive difference in my skiing...all with the help with an expert boot fitter. Today with the Lange RS 130 Pro...the stance is spot on but that little under the toe lift for me made a great boot perfect.
These are the kinds of experiments we can do without making them permanent. I'd be happy to video before and after to see if anythings looks really different., but ya still gotta feel the love!
I wouldn't put 2mm externally under the toe other than to the sides for canting testing...directly under the toe might have release impact on the toe part of the binding.
