BINDINGS
Re: BINDINGS
Found a good deal on Rome Katana size S so I decided to give them a try, but I am so tempted to grab a pair of Atlas Pro to match on my Squash.

Re: BINDINGS
Katana = riding on clouds. Atlas Pro = feeling every little bump jolt up through your joints. Guess I'm getting to that age where dampening is what I think about most in bindings haha.

Re: BINDINGS
have you been on the current Atlas? wayyy more damp than the previous generation. can’t imagine the FC footbed reduces that too much.eleveneightnate wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:11 amKatana = riding on clouds.

Re: BINDINGS
in other news, I also gave a pair of Karakoram’s a try (mounted up on the new C2 Lib), I think they’re first gen Prime Connects?
didn’t hate them, def heavy and lacking the dampening of my go-to Strata’s and Atlases, but response was there. tempted to bring these with the Quiver Connector on two boards for the next trip out west.

Re: BINDINGS
Yeah I have. There was so much hard plastic between my foot and the board and I felt everything. Maybe I’m speaking more to “cushioning”. My Katana footbeds are like 1.5” of boost foam so I think I’m just used to that.coleslawed wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:16 amhave you been on the current Atlas? wayyy more damp than the previous generation. can’t imagine the FC footbed reduces that too much.eleveneightnate wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:11 amKatana = riding on clouds.

Re: BINDINGS
What's everyones thoughts on Bent Metal? Dampening, straps, response,..? Looking at the Transfer (minidisk) or Cor Pro(regular disk)

Re: BINDINGS
also a choice between a unibody on the corpro’s or adjustable heelcup on the transfer.
more adjustability, or more cushioning/canting.

Re: BINDINGS
(my actual vote would be to just get some Atlases for canting plus adjustability)
Re: BINDINGS
I was a fan of BM, had a couple transfers and tried Lando's pair of solutions a few years ago. To me, the transfer was pretty interchangeable with classics like a force/atlas, or cartel/malavita as far as general response & feel. Pretty straight forward bindings, which I like. Loved the thin ankle straps, nice "hug" to them - I'd happily run them on my NOWs if I could source them individually. As for the drive plate doing anything, it's hard to say, but they did feel very comfortably responsive - transfer of energy seemed precise and all that. They didn't necessarily seem more or less damp than anything else, to me. Solution was maybe a little more "sharp" because they're pretty stiff/carbon/whatever. If I got back on them, the corpro is the response level I'd want.
