Anywhere from recommended to +2 from recommended. You don't want to go to far from the recommended point because the sidecut is super compact, and you need to get the most out of it.

Mounted mine right on recomended. Put some Barons on them, they slay the pow pow. I'll have a review up for those of you still thinking about them, however, I believe they're gonna be hard to find.

I am noting this thread because I saw it .

https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/382657/

 

Our factory recommended mount point on the JJ is -5cm from
center; this point should be indicated on the ski by a line.  To get the most
accurate measurement I would recommend measuring 82.5cm up from the tail and
mark your midsole there.  At this point you will maximize the effective sidecut
underboot.  Give that the sidecut is very compact on the JJ it is best to get
everything you can out of the sidecut, and subsequent turn radius.  Anthony, JP
and Julien use our factory recommended line; however, Tanner and Jakob both
mount at -3cm from center because they ski and land switch quite often.  If you
don’t plan on running the switch landing/skiing program too often definitely
mount at the factory recommended line.  Hope this helps you out.  If you have
any further questions please let me know.  Thanks again and enjoy the
winter.
