hey everybody i have a question. and i searchbarred dont dont be a duesch. Anyway, right now i have solly z10s on my skis and have had some problems with pre mature release. So to fix this i may buy some Sth 14s or 16s. Is the drill pattern the same for all solly bindings, or at least are the z10 series the same mount as the Sth?

Karma for bumps
thanks for all your input

sth12 and 14 use the z toe(utter garbage), sth16 and 14driver use the driver toe. so the 12/14s might have the same toe pattern(not 100% sure) not clue on the heals tho

The STH and Z-type heel is the same pattern, the only difference is that the STH has one more hole under the brake, The driver toe (STH 16) has 4 holes vs the Quadrax (STH 12 & 14, Z10 / 12 / 14) whic has 3 holes. The driver toe is fully adjustable, where as the Quadrax is automatically set, the STH series bindings are made with a better titanium plate than the Z-labeled bindings.

Exactly^
If you do not want to have anymore holes drilled (besides the brake hole) I would suggest the 14's. If you are having that much of a problem with the 10's the 12's aren't much more. The 16's toe is completely different and requires drilling, and it is heavier.
