          I had to turn the steering way down on mine and it worked great
          It was like once you got past the point of no return it was too late and it would just spin out

                  Are you driving WOT into the turn? If so, try dropping your speed just a hair before the turn, make the turn, then accelerate out of it.

                  I will say that my TS-2 turned much better when I replaced the REK for the Hyperformance drive. The skeg is much bigger.

                    sounds like you might be a bit nose heavy too! Move the batts back if you can.
