robster2644, welcome to snowheads.
Look pivot or rossi FKS, they are bullet proof, short mounting footprint, very elastic, full turntable heel, bit more than you want to pay, but will outlast your skis.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

a lot of people have said if your getting sth 14s you HAVE to get the driver, that's apparently a really good binding but the sth 14 itself isnt. Also that's a great ski i've got the jib version and love it.

I have Tyrolia Peak 12's on mine.
No issues with them so another option for your consideration.

exactly the same, i've got griffons on mine and prelease far too often, gonna get a remount as the heel piece is as far forwards as it'll go and i think that's why it's prereleasing.

papasmurf, mag1882, Griffons/Jester are particularly sensitive to their forward pressure adjustment.

As carroz, says the Look Pivots / Rossignol FKS are bomber bindings, I love mine.
Otherwise the STH 14 drivers, has to be driver, are good. Or for less money look at the older, slightly different models: s914s/s912s that have the driver toe. Just steer clear of the z toe piece.

oh, thanks spyderjon, and @papasmurf what's your weight and din? and do you find them hard as hell to clip into? and does your heel sit on the ledge before its clipped in or above it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
105kg din depends on the ski..on the punishers think its 11 at present..no very easy to clip in..nice clunk aswell..where the heal sits i have no idea of the top of my head, even though i only adjusted them for new boots recently..

You know it makes sense.
|

with your weight you'll demolish squires, I'm about 70kg and I wouldn't use squires. And I forgot to mention sth 14 driver is a freestyle orientated binding, and yeah that sounds like a good price.
