It's very easy to get too tight with just one extra twist of the cam - I'm guessing this is due to the stiffness. I've found starting with them on the loose side for a warm up run helps them settle in to the shell, and I can then tighten them down a little more where needed and I'm good for the day.
OTOH, I need to be very precise with buckle tension right from the start. I don't over-tighten, but if my buckles are more than a turn or two looser than optimal, my skis don't respond to tipping movements quickly or accurately.
I've got chicken legs and bony ankles, so the right amount of pressure is a knife edge adjustment. A little too loose and I feel disconnected from the boot shell. The Pro Tongues are like surgical instruments... very fine control is rewarded with very fine results.
Shout out to Toddw for spotting that my skis weren't reacting to my movements as they should, and suggesting that I fine tune my buckles. A couple of twists made all the difference.
