On fujatives the line labeled "core center" isnt the center of balance or the center legnthwise, so what is it based on? Core center is at about +7.5, and the real center of the ski is more like +11.

Core center is back from "true center", I think that's around +12/

On K2s it's back 7.5. And I think it has something to do with side cut and the flex of the ski.

i think the core center is at the waist of the skis

the tail is a few cm shorter than the tip, like from where it starts curving up. it's just naturally a little shorter. so the "core center" is the center spot of the wood core, minus the tip and tail. i think

on all K2's core center is +7.5 and true center is +12
+12 is the exact middle, but +7.5 is where the binding mat is the thickest and the skis are meant to be mounted at for park skiing. +7.5 is where all of the K2 factory team skis at.

i have 04/05 pe's mounted at true center and they rip everywhere. i love them. i live in mn and ski mostly park, but i brought these out to jackson and skied some killer pow with them in march. they're a little tough in deep stuff but not too bad. and to the kid that said they ski like shit at true center, have you ever skied them? just askin, cause i love them at true center. although i'm talking about pes, not fujis

Wow, you guys are all wrong.
Its the center of the sidecut, the narrowest part of the ski.

by my calculations its at +78, meaning core center is when you mount your minding right ontop of your front tip. Terrible all mountain, great for dropping outof heaven and landing switch in pow.
