Revisiting binding placement...

Maurice Muffat, my former neighbor from France,works at Dynastar and helped me untangle the quandary I have with the right way to correctly position the bindings on my skis.

I'm not there yet, but will work on fine tuning that spot. All seems to revolve around the mid-sole mark on the ski boot, which is a standard that was hastily pushed by DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung), the German institute for standards.

This, in my view, was a bad idea because the mid-sole point is arbitrary and do not relate to any anatomical placement or function in skiing.

What's more related would be the axis of the leg or the ankle that are pretty much regardless of sole length.

This placement is way too far forward, which exacerbates an excessive backward position with long boot soles. I certainly don't have a good answer for what a better method would be at this point, but intend to get to it through further observation, evaluation as well as trial and error.
