There has actually been almost no AFD or Forward pressure issues with the binding itself. There has however, been HUGE problems with techs or DIY people not properly setting up AFD height.
Most seem to miss the very important step of pulling back on the boot cuff HARD to eliminate slack before adjusting the AFD with your .5mm spacer.
I would estimate about 75% of the ones I see on the ski racks or the many I have personally adjusted are visually low. They will feel loose, reduce your confidence and actually may pre-release if not properly adjusted.
You can actually do a quick visual test on any Attack 2 toe by looking at the 2 screws above the AFD. Those screw heads are always 1/3 to 1/2 covered by the AFD that rises up and forward when adjusted properly.
Should look
similar to this with boots soles varying a bit of course.

Whenever you see a Tyrolia or Marker Griffon slammed online due to pre-releasing etc, it’s been 99.9% set up issues. Easily solved by proper adjustment which I’ve now talked people through via PMs hundreds of times now. Attack2 12/13/16 toes are all the same except spring with the 16 and 18(and now 17) having a metal heel housing.
Lots of tech training issues out there even with it clearly shown in unfortunately.
