Alright so I just got a pair of 176 AR5's for this year. I didn't get the AR6 just because of the price difference. Anyways I have some rossi axial bindings to mount on them. The question is how should I get these mounted I ski 80% park and 20% all mountain, I also am an instructor. I was thinking center. Opinions?

One more question is there a difference between perfect center and just center mounting?

Thanks in advance. =)

Alright thanks for the reply but should I go true center on my AR5's or just suggested center?

I had this years and skied pretty much exactly what you ski, definitely go with the recommended point. I would say use different skis for instructing though; twin tips with little sidecut (like the ar5) and forward mounted ski totally differently and also your skis can get dinged up from kiddies running over them
