i just ordered a pair of the 08 elizabeths and i was wondering if anyone has mounted them true center, and/or had any problems with it.
 
i just got mine back from the shop, i mounted them at -1.5 from true center. im sure they will be fine true center, i plan on skiing them out of the park, thats why i mounted them back a bit
 
i got mine mounted +2cm from the reccomended, i think its still 1-2cm back from center but ive yet to rides these
 
Well it goes like this....

the recommended mark of a ski is where it will ski best because this is the best possible mounting point in relation to the sidecut shape...

center mounting a traditionally shaped ski GENERALLY takes away some performance, as you are trying to pressure the sidecut form a location that is less than perfect...

the recommended mark for lizzies i think is 2cm back from true center, or pretty dang close, this is where the lizzie will ski best. at recommended, i have heard uncountable tales of how amazing the ski is switch as well as forwards (haha) and even mounted a little back, at recommended...

therefore the moral of this is, I, as a single opinion among 100,000 other skiers, would NOT recommend center mounting, as the recommended point is very close to start with, and they ski just as well at recommended, and mounting at center might possibly mess a little with performance.

thank you, and goodnight.
 
i would reccomend atleast 1 or maybe even atleast 1.5 back from center. mine are at 2.5 and are amazing. superb in pow and one of the smoothest skis i have ever ridden. even at 2.5 carving and just generally riding is sooo much more comfortable and easier.
 
great reply. I agree fully. I have heard the Lizzies do best at recomended and that is where pollard has his
 
yeah that whole sidecut story was the same with my foils, and i centered them and i love it so im centering these.
