Syemmetrical does it madder,

a centermounted symmetrical ski takes the most advantage possible of your turning radius given your mounting position, since the middle of your boot will line up with the most narrow point in the ski the side cut will have its maximum effect on easing turning as opposed to a centermounted ski that is not symmetrical whose most narrow point wont line up with the middle of your boot but will lie behind

a symmetrical ski also gives the same performance riding backwards as it does riding forwards

my skis arent symmertrical and are centered, but i have ridden ones that are and the differences are subtle but still there
 
it also helps give you better balance on rails, because the weight is even on both sides of your foot, and also theoretically it could help you spin faster because the weight is even on both sides of the feet, and so the weight is spread out and so it will technically be a more even swing weight which will help you spin better if that makes sense.

 
not true, i could notice a definite difference when i changed from chronics to invaders, it was way easier to go switch with the invaders than the chronics, and with chronics i always landed backseat, but now i never land backseat with invaders.
 
okay so either your chronics were shorter, or your techique has improved, or what it really sounds like is that they werent centermounted, in which case youre comparing apples to oranges

but a symmetrical vs non symmetrical ski would have no difference on your landings, and a switch from non center to center mounting would have a much bigger difference than symmetrical
 
SYMMETRICAL skis can MATTER in the park if you are riding switch a lot. They do ride better switch from my experiences and have better swingweight.
