id center mount them because even though they are so fat and look like pow skis, eric pollard designed them to be a park ski. i guess the factory mount is 1cm back from center so that might be a good idea too. try one out, if you dont like it you cam always get them re-mounted

The factory mount on these is 1cm back from center I would go there, thats where they ski the best.

All depends on how you like to ski. If you're a directional big mountain kinda guy who dabbles with switch riding and park stuff, it'd be worth it to pull the bindings back a little bit. If you're all freestyle, all the time; drop 'em right in the middle. After skiing several skis with similar shapes as this (Nordica Zero, Volkl Chopstick), I prefer to pull the bindings back at least 5 - 6cm. You can still land and ski switch, no problem, but they're way more nimble feeling and versatile with a shorter tail and longer nose in my opinion. Hope this helps. These are fun!
