Been working on the Super Phantom move, thought I would share a few insights:
1- It's really easy to work on this regularly by taking advantage of traverses, cat tracks and mild slopes. My home resort has a lot of intermediate slopes connected by cat tracks, there are a few traverses I take pretty much every time I get off the lift on my way to a steeper side hill. I use these traverses/cat tracks as a little warmup and do the Super Phantom on my way to the side hill, usually 5 or 6 turns. I often get 50 or more Super Phantom drills in a day by doing this.
2- I find that using the Super Phantom is a good way to get started on very steep hills also, particularly because it requires commitment to one ski, and commited movement/tipping into the new turn. If the hill is particularly steep, I may "break up" the hill by using 3 or 4 Super Phantom turns, then rest a bit and assess my performance.
3-Seems to be that the process of tipping the inside ski is what really makes the phantom work-in fact it just kind of happens without too much extra thought.
Question-is the Super Phantom primarily intended to be used on steeper slopes and/or turns with a more "round" shape/finish?
What if any are the advantages of the Super Phantom on shallower slopes and/or turns that are relatively straight in shape?
Is the Super Phantom intended to be used mostly in SL sized turns?
