Marker bindings

So earlier this season i needed new park skis but i needed to keep it cheap. I made the decision to get marker squires just because of the price point. Since then they have broken twice in the same place. Both times the plastic piece holding the brake in place has snapped when i landed switch.


Now i need to replace them again but i want to use the same holes. Should i get better marker bindings ( griffons or jesters) or should i get something different? Are there any other bindings that use the same hole pattern as markers

Every binding will let your heel move up. Probably all by about the same amount at the same Din setting.
I guess if you buy pivots, ride them on the same din setting, land switch leaned to far on your tips, youre gonna have a bad time

I sort of think that wont happen because even the pros sometimes land nose heavy and their binding seem to stay intact. Like squires are like made for lighter people and therefore break easier. I don’t believe that any binding would break in that situation, seeing as im also not throwing very heavy tricks.

I’m late to this but I have 5 jester pros and a pair of griffons. Been skiing marker for 10 years after pivots when I raced. The holes are the same for all the squire griffons jesters. I like my jesters because of the metal heals. And reinforced toes. You can get them new from Europe for like 250. My girls has squires on a atris birdie and there’s definitely a different build quality. The heal feels different. But I like all of my markers. They released on 13 the other day. Still broke my fibula but didn’t torch my knee.

No after. Slammed hard against a rock. Below boot top. Like right in the ankle.
