https://snowboardingprofiles.com/drake-fifty-bindings-reviewA binding for anyone who wants a medium flex at a below-average price. It delivers decent performance without spending big. Quick low-speed turns fell short of the reference binding (Malavita), while high-speed carving was on a similar level. The disc can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and mounting it horizontally lets you fine-tune stance width.
