tweaking rocker

after a few sessions on a new 6’8" thruster i’m thinking about how to tweak the next version. the dimensions are 6’8" x 11.25"n x 19.75"w(1.5" back) x 14" squash x 2.25" thick. dimensions, outline, etc. are all about right, its the drive/looseness factor i want to play with. it’s got 2.75" of tail rocker which works great in the pocket and is really loose and carvy…my question is, to get a little more drive would you lower the nose rocker or tail rocker? it’s got about 5.75" of nose rocker. i’m thinking about .25" less in the tail and keeping the entry the same, others have suggested dropping the entry and keeping the tail the same.which end should i tweak? i’d love to try a couple of each and ultimately of course that’ll be the only real way, but any input would be appreciated. bruce .
