LOOK...to Pivot or not to Pivot...

I have always ridden the Look Pivot bindings but I am considering a non-pivot version.
Any performance feedback on the non Pivot heels for the Look/Rosi/Dynastar bindings?

Thanks

They are not any better, I really so no reason to switch. Pivots are more durable and more reliable.

turntable (deceiving because look turntables are called pivots):

those do not exist

the px heel is not pivot. the px12 jib is the new style heel whereas the p12 jib is a pivot heel

for look, p is pivot whereas px is newer heel, and p can also be turntables

for rossi, axial is pivot heel, axial2 is new heel, and fks is a turntable heel

Whoops you're right px jibs aren't pivots
I had P12 on my older skis and I have PX12 jib on my new ones

So ya it doesn't matter at all.  I loved both bindings they didn't feel any different

Having ridden rossi axial2 150s, FKS155, and Look Pivot 14s, I can tell you that the axial2 150 felt like I had the most secure boot to binding connection. The newer heel style is meant to have more elastic travel allowing a super tight hold. I dont feel that feeling on either the pivots or the fks, but I would much rather ride with a turntable/pivot heel over the new ones though.

what kinda skiing y'all doing with pivots?  i'm not a big park skier but i like to destroy everything else... after having pivots on my old chronics, last season i tried px jibs on anthems and rossi sas2 14 on my blends and absolutely loved them. for some reason i felt a bit more secure on them, specially on the rossi sas bindings.

I had them on park and big mountain skis.  But like I said, I've had pivots and px's and loved both of them for any kind of riding.

But now I ski Jesters for everything but park (px jibs for park).
I like the Jesters better than any of the Look Bindings
