I have found out this year that proper technique when cutting (Progessive Edge), standing tall at the wake, and rope tension are more important that where the rope is attached. Before I started learning and practicing the proper techniques, clearing the wake even with an extended pylon was not easy. The only way I could clear the wake was to come in with alot of speed, but there wasn't any height. This year I have applied the advice of fellow boarders on Wakeworld and worked on my cutting. Now I have slowed down (Boat speed at 21-22)and can clear the wake easily and the height is getting better the more my cutting skills improve. The tower will be a huge improvement over the hook-up at the transom, but I have found out over the years, equipment will only get you so far.
