yes i did some searchbar but i was wondering what  the specific disadvantages and advantages are.

I've always ridden -2 even though i ride 95% park and most of that is switch. I feel you can turn alot easier reg and can barely notice it switch.

I've ridden true center before so i have some idea but not much. never ridden +2 but i'm willing to entertain it

honestly it does not make that much of a difference. unless you have symetrical skis, mount them back 2.

I mounted my Bacons at -2 from true, and they are fine in pow and excellent switch on groomers. 
I mounted my Anthems at reccomended, which is actually slightly back from true, and it's not noticeable, they ride switch amazingly.
I would probably never mount a ski true center unles it was symmetrical.

i'd say true center. i got new bindings and mounted them -2 and i regret it. although it could be that my edges are shot.

i mounted my watch lifes at +2 from true center, and they ski switch amazingly,second only to my bacons which are minus 2, and i thought i really enjoyed my watch lifes, but i broke out my scratches which were center mounted for a run or two and realized, while the switch skiing is amazing on my watch lifes, my tails are so long im not getting much pop, it could be the flex pattern but i think i might drop them back to center after i get rid of my jesters and get back on some 155s

I think the mark is actually a few back, but it doesn't make a difference, so it's not worth shitting your pants over.  I'll go check to be sure..

Fuck nevermind, I must have been really baked when I did it last time or something.

pwned by tha chronic.

you're a tool,

and anyways i would say go true center for park use, -2 for all mtn destruction, and +2 if you like switch but can deal without pop.....

Even though you're a douche bag, I do agree with what you say, after calling me a tool.
