Screwed up bindings

I have some salamon s910 bindings, and whenever I lift up my ski and wag the tip back and forth, they feel loose. When they were mounted on my old skis, they did the same thing. they just feel loose. Do i need new bindings, or do I just need to change the adjustments?

It could be the forward pressure not adjusted properly

Aren't they a junior binding - What size boot do you have?

Yeah... I've been to lazy to get new bindings. My din setting is a 7, my boots are 325mm.

on salomon bindings, theres a screw on the toepiece that makes it tighter or looser around the toe of the boot. click your boot into the binding, and check if theres a gap between the sides of the toepiece and your boot, if there is, tighten the screw so the sides are touching, but not too tight. if that doesnt work, try moving your heelpiece forward 1 click or maybe tighten your din a little. also, when its really cold out (like less than 10°f) then your boot shell gets a little smaller and so do the bindings, so it feels looser.

and if none of those are the case, then theres a chance you need new boots.

heres a pic where the screw is

tighten WHAT. The binding haha.. There are multiple things which can be 'tightened' majority of which probably don't need to be touched.
