i got these skis, the head bullet in 161 cm and there is a line on the skis for center mounting, but its not the exact middle balance point. i wanna center mount them, yeah, but will it make a difference if i go "true" centre or should i do where the line is

stay at the line they give you its probely close and the ski will  ride better...but it depends on your type of skiing

if your a park rat then move em up,if not stay at recomended center

I'd just keep them at center, and if your just starting out in the park, your probably gonna end up spending all your time there by the end of this year.  It happens to everyone

I'd personally mount them true center (the measurement center) if it's for just park. Yeah, you gotta be able to get there, but you get used to it, it's never been a problem for me.

Yea, I would definitely mount your bindings at the recommended mounting point. Skis are not plain planks, they are carefully engineered. The recommended mounting line is not there for fun, it has a purpose. To get more out of your ski, I would mount them at the designated mounting spot.
My 2 cents

The fact you go ... These are my park skis would be a big hint. Please, don't let your wife drink when she's pregnant people.

i did the recomended line and i really wish i went tru center, just makes it easier to balance on rails with your boots right in the center

Not sure how a ski can have both a "center" and a "true center"

One is going to be center and one isn't.

yes.. that's pretty normal i think..

if they're your park skis it won't hurt to mount them true center, you've got other skis for actually skiing
