So I've had cork 7s for about 2 years now. Lately they've been getting more and more inverted to the point it's like I'm doing a full. Any recommendations on how to make it more corked and less flip? I've tried not throwing back as hard but it didn't help that much.

Weird, can you oppo spin well, because if you try oppo cork that may work, Ive never had this issue on skis but on tramp this happened once and the only thing that fixed it with trying oppo cork 7.

Not well enough to try an unnat cork 7. The weird thing is my corks are completely fine on tramp, they aren't inverted at all. So I know the rotation it's almost like I can't find it.

Maybe its your jump then, if not this is very wierd, try going back to the fundamentals or something idk man.
 
Look up on your take off more. It will help reducing the inverted spin and emphasize on the rotational spin. I found that looking down at the lip helps with the off axis spin, so by looking higher you will get less invert but still be able to reaxe yourself by the 700.

I found where you are going wrong. Stop the clip at 0:05: You are on your heels on the lip. When you leave the lip, instead of giving a take off, you are throwing your weight back first and then spin. Thats a d-spin.

So you need to recheck your position on the lip. Make sure your are standing up straight and not leaning back on the lip. With a bigger pop, you could correct the "flip" motion to a cork motion. Think of using your hip to set the off axis and not your shoulders.

I hope the tips help ya out

Super helpful reply, thanks for the help man I'll try it today.
 
I had same problem, and mine were really morky too, which I think is pretty common. What fixed mine was carving. I was just carving 7s upright and they started to cork out just a bit and from there I was able to get them to the right level of invertedness. Now my flat based corks have magically gotten better too. I think its the muscle memory of doing the carving corks correctly.

Try to carve it!
