i want my t-halls dead centered.on the skis theres a -5, -2.5, and 0. the 0 marking means its dead center right? might sound like a dumb question but i wanna be 100% positive.

No the 0 on the t-halls is not dead center, it is probably the fattest place of the ski but its deff not dead center cause I measured mine and its about 2 cm in front of the 0.

then measure your actual ski, cause your top sheet is messed up

just measure tip to tail and divide by two, that's dead center. Also, when you get them mounted make sure the shop tech measures it too - I usually ask them to measure and mark it while I'm there so they're mounted properly.

that would make the msot sense. give armada a call/email, measure it yourself, or if your not comfortable with measuring it yourself, take it to your local shop

I just measured on my thalls and 0 is dead center.
Just turn one ski 180 degrees and lay them paralell. You will see that the two 0s are in a line or whatever i should call it.

zero is probably core center, they're are a lot of factors that go into core center so it's hard to tell. Also, it could be that the graphic is slightly off so its center on some skis but not on others - that's why I always measure cause the graphic might not be exactly at center even if it says it is.

Thats probably why the 0 of my skis is not dead center and some other people in this thread it is.
