got new pair , line pollard opus and i dont know if i should mount bindings in center or -2..

anyone can tell me?
 
I talked to line and also did a bunch of my own measurements. Actual length, running surface, midsole line in relation to true center, etc. What I came up with is the the recommended midsole line is the sweet spot. I never mount on those lines with other skis mind you. So I looked at the actual running surface in relation to the early rise. The rise isn't symmetrical and you can see this by holding the bases together. By my measurements there is a difference of about 1.5 between the tip rise compared to the tail. Also the midsole line is -2 from true center. So actually the midsole line is damn near true center as far as running surface is concerned or roughly -.5. To me if you mount any further forward than the recommended line you will actually be mounted forward of center and this will cause your skis to dive in the pow. So then some may ask should I mount further back then? I say no because in actual space you still have that extra 2 in front of you on the tip rise so you will still get that float while keeping a center mount feel. It's damn near a perfect mount and I wouldn't mess with it unless you never ride switch and typically ride way back on your tails. If that's the case I wouldn't get the opus cause that's not what it's made for. Hope that helps.
