it basicly cup the front of ur boot instead of squeez your toe.

i personally think it's one of the best binding break through.

bought it from:

&SearchField=partnumber&SearchFor=T9TOESTRAPBALT&t emplate=Htx/display1.h
tx

for 30 dollars (i have a 02-03 tech9 pro binding and it fit perfectly.)
ask ask technine for the replacement hex nut; the replacement/fix one
are much beefier.

for the first time i feel connected to the board istead for the lack of
better term "bind" to it. and no more sore/squesh toe. which mean i
can ride longer and harder.

i was kinda worry about toe side turn; but after i try it out indoor on
carpet it feel great.

took it to bellayre NY on jan 10 2004. damn it was cold....
The verdict: I love it!!!! i was able to ride better than ever; toe
side turn no problem @ all.

The only thing negative i have to say is that the material of the
binding feel weak; it's type of plastick foam instead of nice reassuring
heavy stich cloth. i guess they have to mold it... but so far it hold
up to my 6' 220lb frame very well. i guess we will see.

your mileage might vary since we all have different type of feet/boot.
btw it work really well with my boots (02-03 vans fargo boa)
