Length and binding placing

I had bought my skiis at a shop and the guy there was taking care of everything i needed to know.. but im just not shure. I am 5'-11" now and I only weigh about 125. what length should I be using? And also, I was interested in my binding placing. The guy at this shop did it for me of course, but it didnt seem right after I watched all these videos of freeskiers. It appears like the bindings are more centered, where as mine seem to be far back like normal skiis. does it even matter?

whats your skiing ability? if your good id go with some 174s prob, if your new prob high 160s but thats imo. are u using them for only park? then center or close too. are you using them for all mountain? then back, but maybe up a bit for the park. are u a new skiier? then def back. lots more info needed

thanks for the reply, i already bought some rossi scratch fs, but i just didnt feel right about the buy, because i dont know much about freestyle yet. As for my abilities, i kill at skiing the regular stuff, but tricks are coming new to me. few grinds and switch 360 is my best air trick.
