just take them to a shop and fill out the forms and they'll determine it for you, that's how it's supposed to work!

setting your own DIN is something you should only do if you're super knowledgeable and experienced and even then can be questionable

yeah presumably your coach did that because he was knowledgeable enough to do it. literally changing the setting itself is easy but choosing your DIN setting is risky if you don't know the stuff really well. and you're going to have to get them mounted anyway right? so just let the shop do it. maybe consult your coach about it afterward if you can and want to

Yeah I want to echo what @SofaKingSick has said. Let the shop do it, odds are it will work for you. If you are continuously ejecting early maybe bump your dins up by 1 but take it slow.

I give shops my info, I buy a lot of skis. I will get them set at anywhere between 7 and 11 with the same info given every time.

the same shop where I do most my mounting will even set them differently every time pretty much.

AFD is RARELY set correct.

I, for one, strongly recommend against Griffons, and recommend attack 13s instead. The griffons I had came off of the tracker and made it so that I'd pop out whenever I went to butter on the noses.

which gen griffon was this? correct set ... everything?



I'm 6'2 6'3? something and a nippy 238lbs, spent yesterday and a lot of summer on griffons, yeah they are not a jester or a jester pro, but for our indoor park they work fine but yeah maybe not for FWT or sending it at 60-70mph.

Im 6'4, but only 180 when I was on those. Basically after 3/4 of a season I'd start popping the heelpiece off the tracker

Determining your DIN isn't complicated. There's a chart with a row for your weight and a column for your boot size. Then, you go down one or two rows for your skier type.

I'm not saying it's some super difficult feat but determining your DIN isn't something a novice should do, plus release testing and forward pressure. Plus he's going to have to get them mounted anyway so why wouldn't he just have the shop do the DIN as part of the process?
