Replying to Rocker vs Camber for how long a ski feels
I have been reading reviews for the Liberty Origin 106 and a few have stated that it feels like a shorter ski in the front. I am not sure about their frame of reference. The ski has a 15% tail rocker and a 20% tip rocker with a 65% camber.
I am currently on a Nordica Enforcer 100 from 2018 in a 185 length which has a 5% tail rocker and 25% tip rocker with a 70% camber. It doesn't at all feel like a shorter ski. I used to ski the K2 Pinnacle 95 in a 184 and that did feel like a shorter ski.
The mount point on both skis is pretty similar. So wouldn't the Origin actually ski/feel a bit longer than my enforcer in the front, and a bit shorter in the back? The newer enforcers have much more rocker in both the tip and the tail.
I am trying to figure out if I want to go for a 182 or a 187 Origin 106. Are their other factors here I am not considering?
