For some reason I just cant grab blunt with my cork sevens. I always end up not crossing my ski enough or grabbing high safety.
Help?

BWalmerOut of curiosity, how do you set your cork 7s? Do you carve or go straight in? I found that I get way more control over the spin and therefore have an easier time grabbing blunt (or any grab) when I carve into corks (or any spin).
Working on grabs with smaller spins and on bigger jumps will also help, you'll learn the muscle memory of the grab and get more comfortable with being able to do them with cork 7s.
shane.tGonna have to start carving my cork 7's. I don't carve in on mine
BWalmerIt's a bit harder to wind up and spin them, but once you get them they're easier to set, you have more control of them and they look so much better and smoother.
For example, 0:50 of this edit (it's a cork 9 blunt, but same idea):

and that one isn't even that carved (I couldn't find a better example at the moment, but they're out there, haha).
