Hi,
I am skiing the FFR+s on my K2 Coombas with Scarpa Typhoon boots.

I find that when stepping into the binding, it is extremely easy to put the heel in slightly off alignment, which can result in pre-release. Also, if I ski them hard on packed snow or bumps, the heel can slide off-center or even all the way out. One or two eat-s@#t experiences now has me constantly checking the heel to make sure it is in ok (and it often isn't). No probs in soft snow/pow.

Toe-piece is adjusted correctly for height. Length is adjusted so that the pressure indicator is flush with the back of the binding. Din settings on 8 at front, and 10 at rear.

It seems like whenever the boot is off center, or wants to twist out at the back, the binding just slides back a bit to accommodate it. I have considered cranking the forward pressure up beyond recommended standards, but have heard this can cause the toe piece to break.

Has anyone else had similar experience or know of a solution?

Cheers.
