I am just starting to get back into slalom course skiing after a couple decides absence. I bought a HO CX Superlite with double high wrap boots. I am considering going to a RTP as I am finding I am lifting my rear heel as I ski.
I am posting here to hopefully get some feedback on making this change (good or bad idea, etc.) and to find out which manufacture people believe have the best RTP (foot stays in). Over the years there have always been top skiers who were able to ski with a RTP so I figure I just need to get one which will keep my foot to stay in place.
Thanks in advance for the input.

New use for the phrase.
It was very interesting and I learned a lot about how skis work, body mechanics, my technique flaws, etc., but it was obvious very early on that it would be a lonnng road for me to reach the point where RTP was "just the way I ski." If there were any theoretical performance gains to be had, they would be years away.
(Just my own experience. People with actual athleticism may have a very different time of it.)
If I revisit this in a future season, it will probably be with something like the Radar "R" rather than a true RTP.
Thank you for the input.
With that said, I don't like thick padded plates. I use non-skid straight to the plate.
Wiley's plates are hard to beat. They come with a thin rubber pad that's not bad at all.
