Im coming off of the original Nordica Dobermann WC 150. 9 seasons in one amazing boot. Im an ex-racer and cannot ski a soft, wide boot without feeling like I am losing control and have no influence over my skis. (It kinda was engrained into me by the 95mm last Dobies.) Im looking for the burliest bort on the AT market for working races/coaching up on the hill 60+ days a year and the yearly big-mountain stint.
Titans, Factors or other?
Thanks guys!

Hey James, I ski the Nordica Speedmachine 14 and feel the same way. I had a pro deal with Black Diamond and heard great things about the boot. Every aspect about it was phenomenal, however, the flex was nowhere near a Nordica 130. I broke the first pair I had. Not a stiff boot if you're used to 150, or weigh over 200 lbs.
