given I don't actually know a lot about Max, but I have seen his performances at WTT and I don't think he needs to become more "balletic" (or probably more gracious is what he is aiming for I guess). His very virile style could actually help him a lot I think, to actually differentiate himself from the rest of the field. The public generally loves these kind of skaters that are really powerful and masculine on the ice (i.e Bjou) and I think the judges would reward him as well.
The key for him is consistency. He has to deliver his strong elements. And then he has to work on connection/interpretation of the music and SKATING SKILLS. His edges are not good, his crossovers are BAD. If he can do that, he doesn't need to be more "balletic"
Of course he does what he wants as it is his skating but I disagree with the assessment he seems to have made of his "weaknesses".
