I'll keep it simple. I have FT Booters, and I want to get some flex out of my ski. I'm pretty sure I know how to butter. My boots just flex sooo much. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Well how much you can butter is really reliant on how strong you are and how flexy your skis are. If you think your boots flex too much, get some stiffer tongues. What skis have you got? I used to have a hard time on stiffer skis, then i got al dentes ad i could butter all ovee the place.

The thing is, throughout the day, my boots loosen. I tighten them as far as they can go at the shin at the start of the day.

Yeah, I pretty much pull the strap as tight as it can go. Afterbangs are pretty stiff, though. I had those before and I couldn't really get anything out of them.
