Hard to tell, snap your boot in and measure from the mid-sole line on the boot to the tip and tail, and find out.

They might be core center, measure it and tell us what it comes out to...and if they fucked up, you can usually get a new pair of skis out of it.

I'm pretty sure that's the same picture as the first, and now that you know, it doesn't matter much anyway, they aren't true center, but they might be core, and since the T-Halls have the softer flex in front and behind the boot, maybe they mounted them that way on purpose to use that, if they know shit about freeskiing that is. But if not, and you wanted them true centered, then they messed up, but it shouldn't be that big of an issue, if you want to press it, however, I'm sure at the very least you can get a free re-mount and maybe some new skis, if you don't want some that have been drilled once already, althought it won't make a difference unless you wanna sell them later.

yea man, You have to ask for true centre, each ski has the recommended "centre", which they will mount it at.

try putting them nose to tail while the boots are in and see if they are even, cuz my skis have the sameish problem, but they are true center, it may look like they are back cuz the heel peice is longer then the toe peice, but if u check where the boots line up, that will tell

fucking kids...

"mount these center" does not equal "mount these so they are the same length in the tip and tail...tell us "true center" not "center"


FWIW- T-Halls recommended mounting point is "center", as is the AR5 (Dont know about AR6)

well it is worth repeating considering it's quite the obvious slolution... If you actually needed us to confirm for you that they aren't center mounted you have some kinda disability, but either way if you asked for them to mount them at true center march down there and get some new skis. Dont settle for a free remount. If they wont give you new skis tell them you just want the money back that you paid for them and take your business elsewhere.
