Same. It’s like I can’t get the 180 in and out in one fluid motion if that makes sense. Like tips for getting that last 180 around smoothly would be helpful
hellahuckyou guys have any tips I’m tryna dial in my butters this szn
CeleryI do, I ski 184s and I’m 177cm tall. I am currently on Reckoner 102s but had no problem buttering my Apostles before I had to send them back.
i’m 167 cm on 180s kind of difficult to get the leverage, at the same time i haven’t really had anything else but thick slush to butter on which ain’t it
If you skate you can kind of think about it like when you do a half cab and pivot around on the back wheels. Mostly turning your shoulders all the way though i think

start with a stationary nose press...
just get comfortable putting your centre of gravity (your shoulders) over your tips first in lift lines or flat ground. modulate the angle of your ankles knees and hips too keep balance.
then add a 90 degree spin into it. then 180. if you trampoline it might feel something like a 180 into front drop
then you can doing it while going down the hill slowly. really focus on the press part.
Are those moment wildcats? I try practicing butters on my 184 wildcat 108's but even my heavy 6'1" ass has trouble getting them to flex much. Like I have to lean super far forward. Or is that just with any ski and buttering.
Like it looks like you did a nice butter there but I don't see the ski flexing much. The cats are on the stiff side for sure though
