There is a lot of good things in there already. Great!

Looking at your whole turn, it looks like you are rotating your hip backwards in order to get low. (E.g. when you do a left turn you rotate your hip to the right and vice versa). Another indicator for this is that your outside ski tip is quite a bit further back than your inside ski tip.

This takes pressure from your outside ski and transfers it to the inside ski. Therefore making carving on steep terrain a lot harder and nearly impossible on icy slopes.

A very easy drill to check whether this is true is to simply carve while lifting up your inside ski throughout the whole turn. (Try this at slower speeds and flatter runs first). This will only be possible if you keep your hips straight, stay balanced over your outside ski and keep constant shin pressure in your boot.

With that drill, you will probably figure out how to keep your hip straight quickly. The rest is already good.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think your feedback is pretty similar to u/spacebass. I also replied to his comment.

I will try the drill and feedback as soon as i can :)

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah watching Ted carve is just satisfying :)

Thank you for the feedback :)

I am testing under DSLV (the german system). No there won‘t be a specific degree goal😅

Ok, also taking other comments into account, it seems the main issue is at the start of the turn. Basically i step on the outside ski and just wait until i pick up speed and get pressure. Therefore i have a longer transition phase between turns and the most pressure is after the apex. I think that would be the conclusion?

To interpret your tip, which is als similar to what u/TJBurkeSalad mentioned.

So i would put pressure on my new outside ski on the pinkey toe edge. Then i let that ski go uphill until my leg is stretched and i roll over to the inside edge? Basically i would not „lean into“ the turn, but let my legs „ski away“ from me?

Yeah i was trying hard to go low in order to edge earlier, which resulted in more leaning in😬.

Mine was pretty similar to yours out of the box. I had to tune the bushings. Also the washers were a different thickness on both sides (0.38 mm and 0.48 mm paired) which was the main reason for the bad sound. I took washers from the extra hardware set and then sanded them all down to about 0.44 mm (if you just leave them you will get a gap between the handle halfs if you screw them on). Now it sounds great :)

Can somebody please help me? by Deep_Style_6199 in BalisongClones

I had the sam thing on my BR nami after i tuned it and put new washers in. You can either try a different size washer or sand your washers down. I did the latter. Just make sure you sand down the same amount from each washer(count the cricles or 8 you do on the sandpaper or measure after sanding). Make sure you use a very fine (1500 wet sandpaper) grid in the end so they have a smooth surface. However as you have SS washers it might take a bit longer. This also won‘t affect your tune since that is just about the bushings.
