Marker Piston Bindings

[highpeaksdrifter]

Marker has alot of different piston bindings on alot of different skis.They claim it helps control the skis rebound and helps set up the next turn. Most high end ski systems that use Marker have it. Any opinions?

I do love the feel for one's edges with the previous turntable heels of the LOOK/ROSSI design and have used Markers with the PistonControl built in...and have nothing but praise...only smooth, Desired releases, however I've been in the 160-175lb range for most of my skiing life so I think I'm rather easy to please in that regard.
*Con: the 1999/2000? binding(w/PC) possessed substantial positive ramp angle, which did me a disservice...balance-wise, but that is just my alignment makeup. As the 5 Star Supersports came out...Marker made it well known that there were some "0deg" setups on the 5 Stars. Since then I haven't been on Markers...so I really can't talk about the newer setups... LOTSA HELP EH'... :lol:

I have the Marker Motion AT Race P.C.O.S. on a pair of Volkl Superspeeds. I hardly notice them, largely because I just haven't released in them (yet). They also just let me do what I want with my skis (i.e., pretty direct link between my brain and ski manuverability) They are quite easy to get in and out of compared to other competing binding. I like to hear a solid "click" when I push my heel down.
