Ive skied mine all year at reccomended line, maybe -1 of line( not sure since they are karhus and dont have the regular points on them). Has anyone mounted theirs any closer to center? if so how do they ski?

there is actually a detailed thread about this on TGR forums, to sum it up, no one liked a + mount, and alot of people would have gone more -, its worth a read,
peace

prophets suck further up, they don't carve well anymore which is one of their biggest assets, the tails begin to hook bad, and they aren't as good in pow. keep them at recommended, anything forward is gonna be shitty. i skied my friend's at -2.5 from true and they failed super hard
that being said, i rode a pair mounted back from recommended and hated those as well, there was so much tip. companies make a recommended line for a reason and on prophets i've found it makes a big difference to deviate from that. prophets fucking KILL IT at recommended but i haven't been happy with them anywhere else

I assume you are referring to 100s right? Mine are mounted on the line and they absolutely kill it. they have planty of tail so they ride switch fine. Seriously you'd be a lunatic to mount anywhere else. they may be twins but they are very definately directional in nature.
