Howell Test Fixture (sm)
Optional — to provide bespoke lateral-heel release-settings for Howell Ski Bindings.
Available now.
Howell Test Fixture (sm) can be used to validate, demonstrate and bespoke-calibrate unique lateral-heel settings for Howell Ski Bindings.
Lateral-heel release is not rotational-heel movement: no boot can pass laterally thru the side-lugs of a turntable / pivot heel. This is why turntable / pivot heels can cause ACL, MCL, meniscus, and tibial-plateau injury.
Diametrically the opposite, lateral-heel release together with bespoke lateral-heel release-settings that are generated through the use of the Howell Test Fixture — can provide enhanced ACL, MCL, meniscus, and tibial-plateau integrity during alpine skiing.
Detailed instructions included.
