I know that this may sound very banal, but please be patient with what I want to clear up. As I understand one strong difference between TTS and PMTS is that PMTS uses only flex of old stance foot vs. TTS teaching that release can be started also by extension of the old free (inside) foot.
HH stated very strong about flex in innumerous occasions, for example
?The intent of what you are doing is the important part of how movements take effect. If you, as I explained in anther post, flex or bend by 1mm you are on the right track, if you extend by 1mm you are on the wrong track if you are a habitual push off skier.?

Recently I discover in PMTS online lessons this statement:
?In Brief
On a moderate, groomed pitch, link turns using the Phantom Move. After you release, tip the free foot toward its little-toe edge. While tipping, slowly draw the free foot upward against the stance boot. Meanwhile, keep the outside of the free foot (its little-toe edge) gently in contact with the snow. The free foot should be highest, and thus the free leg "shortest", through the bottom of the arc; at this point, you can begin to release for the next turn. As you relax your stance leg to release and your body starts to move in the direction of the next turn, extend the flexed inside leg until both legs are equally flexed and the skis are flat to the snow. Now tip the new free foot and flex the new free leg to enter the arc of the next turn.?

On the next week I will be skiing in Alps and want to start practicing PM, so it is very important to me to fully understand the PM. Please somebody clarify on that apparent contradiction.
