So your first 20 jumps had soft openings? Did you do anything different when you packed it? I've been getting slammed by mine, too. I keep trying to tweak my packing, with little success. I've been pulling the slider out in front of the nose quite a bit. After I stuff the nose, I make sure to pull the slider back out in front. I roll the tail a ton and double stow the bands. Every so often I'll get a snivel on opening which is a nice break from the hard openings.
