People argue that the center of your body is your heel and not the middle of your foot, hence moving the mounting point even more forward.

Most defnitely not. When you're in a proper skiing position, your weight is on the ball of your foot. This means that you should actually mount a bit behind true center for a balanced stance. Also when i was young(er) and stupid(er) I mounted a pair of skis in front of true center. They felt absolutely gross and I don't recommend doing that in any situation.

nah man, in the Newschoolers/afterbang stance your center of gravity should be about a foot behind your heels ....

Especially when landing. If you aren't landing in such a hard afterbang position that your head hits the tails of your skis, then you are doing it wrong.

How does it add weight to the ski?

center would reduce swingweight. ^^

My new life's are symmetrical fatties so it makes sense to mount them center. Plus I love jib-style riding in the pow. I can swing them around easily for slashes and butters and other Tom foolery. It's all person preference I guess.
