The shaped ski form is well suited to stability on sustained high speed turns.
As the good doctor says, keep trying. You don't need skis from the World Cup room to experience the benefits of better turn initation and the ability to carve much more easily than if you were trying to bend a straight ski into a radius. Add in some tip rocker for even faster turn initiation and it gets even better.
