i want to order some booster straps but im not sure if i should get the intermediate ones(2 bands) or the expert ones(3 bands). any advice is appreciated! +k
 
I was wondering the exact same thing. Can anyone help us out. I ski 50% park and 50% all mountain, 5'11" 185 lbs. Thanks
 
Did u read this? straigt from there site, should tell which one is for you.

The Booster Strap’s Choice:

The choice between the different models of The Booster Strap has to be done considering the following parameters:

[*]Weight/Height

The Booster Medium or World Cup fits Heavy/Tall athletes, Booster Soft fits Light/Short athletes

[*]Aggressiveness

Medium or World Cup fits an aggressive skier, Booster Soft fits a quiet skier

[*]Disciplines

For Tech events it is suggested to ski with Medium or World Cup, for Speed events with the Soft model

[*]Stiffness of Boot’s plastics

Stiff Boot → Booster Medium or World Cup, Soft → Booster Soft

[*]Stiffness of the Ski

Stiff Ski → Booster Medium or World Cup, Soft Ski → Booster Soft

[/list]

It should be also considered that it is better to begin with a softer model rather thana stiff one. A softer model has a slower elastic response but makes much easier to feel the advantages of using The Booster Strap. Beginning with a too stiff model may not lead the skier to feel the difference.

In addition it has to be considered that there is an overlap between the models and their elastic properties. As an exemple, the properties of an high tensioned Medium model can be equal to those of a low tensioned World Cup model.
 
That helps alot. Thanks. I know that this isnt worthy of being stickied but that answers every question about boosters. And by medium you mean expert. I wasn't considering the world cup anyways since it seems like it wouldnt help at all for park.
 
Get the ones just down from world cup. I have the world cup, but for park the plain 3 staps would probably be the best.
