Personally, I don't think skating force and antiskating are problematic issues for most well designed tonearms. However, there is no practical way to implement a dynamic antiskating mechanism that will perfectly counteract the dynamic skating force caused by the dynamic nature of music. On the other hand, I don't think it really matters too much because the best pivotal tonearms seem to perform quite nicely these days.

For those who place extraordinary emphasis on optimizing antiskating, it might be prudent to use a linear tracking tonearm, which completely eliminates the problem all together.
