I just picked up 192cm Rocker 2's yesterday and I'm totally stoked about them. I mounted them +3cm from the back line which I guess is -4cm from true center because I wanted more stability when bombing down. I'm having second thoughts since my last fat skis (volkl chopsticks) were mounted -1" from true. Do you think -4cm is too far back for skiing switch, spinning, and smearing through trees? How will remounting 2-3cm's forward of where they are now negatively affect the ski's structure? I'm 6'1",195lbs

Is that +1 from true center? or +1 from the recommended mount which on Volkl is *really* far back. Thanks for the advice. I'm probably going to remount my Rockers to -1 or -2 from true center to feel more like my Chopsticks did. I still have my Katanas for charging big lines (the reason I didn't get the shiro)

That sounds quite far back. For reference the Rossi S7 is mounted -1 for powder. I ski the Kuro and the Shiro at plus 1. But, since they are mounted, why not ski them and then re mount if they feel like you have too much tip? A remount is no big deal as far as the integrity of the ski is concerned.
