Er, could you be more specific?  (much scratching of scalp...rubbing of glazed eyes....) Please elaborate more on spring potential energy, flex index effects on the ski, rebound response time, and length (to the nearest micrometer) of binding deflection with the spring engaged and disengaged.  ;D ;D ;D

Just Joking!!! Awesome reply....thanks Jim! And no, my eyes didn't glaze over reading your reply.  On the contrary, I'm a techie, science kinda guy, and detailed answers that really get to the meat of the question are just what get my attention piqued. 

OK...so, dimple forward = springs engaged = better rebound but at the expense of stiffer flex...have I got that right? I'm curious, have you tried skiing with and without the springs engaged? If so, did you notice any difference? Which was better for everyday recreational skiing? I would guess you're going to say with the spring disengaged, from the way you ski them.

Cheers,
