Pivot
Look Pivot 12s or Tyrolia/Head Attack 12 GW will be easier to step into than Markers for lighter weight skiers.
Those seem like interesting options but I noticed two things:
1. They are basically the same weight as the Griffons, and I was exploring other options mainly to reduce the overall weight. I have seen somehwere that Pivots have lower "swing weight" but not really sure how that is deternmined and what it affects in various conditions.
2. Both the Pivot and Attack have lower stand heights than Griffons, which I also can't really wrap my head around. Does that improve soft snow perfromance? As the dad of several ex-racers I've been under the impression that more stand height is good for carving high G turns on packed snow. So why is
low stand height good, specifically on a 94 mm waisted ski?
3. Didn't they fix the issues with lightweights struggling to step in to Griffons? Marker certainly claims that.
Thanks!
