true center is the middle of the ski , if all your doing is jibs and ridin fakie get them mounted there, if not, get them a few back.

if you mount fujatives 'core center' that is balance poing of the ski, so any back or forward would make the tail or nose heavier than the other, which is kinda dumb for park.

dead center is retarded. like the dude said earlier, it makes the ski unbalanced. and they ski like absolute shit.

it is NOT +12 or 14.

It's actually +7.5, go look on the site. that is the dead middle of the ski.

If you mount it any further forward than +10, the screws will not be in a braided fiberglass plate in the ski meant to add strength and hold the screws where they should be.

no one has actually got it correct yet.

the graph is wrong by 2 cm.

Core Center is actually +9.5, true center is +14, even though it says it is +7.5 and +12.

I wouldn't go any more foward than Core center. I had a pair at +7.5 which were great in the park, but i wouldn't want to be any more foward.

you can only go to plus 10 relative to their mounting graph.

best bet is the just measure the ski out.
