I have the 176 ar5's and they aren't mounted true center, this makes them feel super hard to spin with.
has anyone else had this problem????
i dont know if its becuase there not mounted at the center, or if the top weight is super heavy

I never road a ski that was mounted true center untill I got my chronics this year, and I feel like I make a cleaner spin now b/c they are mounter true center. It may work for you too, but I think its all prefence. But if you are goin to mount them true center and still want to use them all mt make sure ur ski is long enough. Other wise you feel like your missing half your ski in my opinion.

You just need to learn how to spin bro, i could do 7s and switch 3s before i center mounted. Plus is like 2-3 inches forward from reco so its really not that much different.

armadas recommended mount point is probably as close to centre as any manufacturer will go

i have the same skis, same mount and i dont find them difficult at all.

Maybe you just needed to be a little clearer in your explanation.
