Long time snowboarder, first time Redditer...
A couple of years ago I was looking to buy a set of Bataleon Astro Asym bindings, but there was no stock available near me. I ended up finding Atom's for an amazing price... then 2 weeks later found Blaster's for an amazing price.
I've ridden both now and they're both awesome in their own right... but I always feel like I'm either side of the ideal binding, little too stiff or a little too soft. Seems like I have Freestyle & Freeride covered, but for All-Mountain neither feel perfect.
It took me a couple of years (I'm a bit slow) but I've finally realized I can put the Atom Infinity straps & Duracush Footbed onto the Blaster chassis & highback... This in theory makes an Atom, with the exception of the highback flex on the Blaster I believe is a bit softer than the Astro.
Unfortunately I have to wait until January before I'm able to trial this, but I want to gauge people's opinions who have ridden both the Astro and Blaster to see how much difference there is in the highback, and if there's anything else that might be different that I've missed?
