Hellbent mounting issue

So, I have my HBs mounted with Barons just back from core centre. I just got new boots which are a shell size down so after adjusting the bindings, I'm now mounted about half to one cm forward of core center (only a little back from the true centre of the ski).
I'm just wondering if anyone else has skied them in this position and how much, if at all it will effect performance.
Re mounting is probably not an option because they are already on their 3rd mount.
Thanks

they're that rockered anyway who gives a fuck. you could prob go another 100mm forward and still ski fine. just start landing everything switch!

it sounds like you have no option anyway, but i've skied hellbents at true centre which i believe is 1cm forward of core and had no problems..

May I ask why you have barons on Hellbents? You go skinning on those things?

a shell size is only 1 cm so you've only moved up .5cm based on midsole. my bet is that you won't even notice the difference.

I have a bunch of friends that do. HellBents and Pontoons with Dukes. Might as well enjoy the decent if you are making the effort to get up there. Can't be afraid of a little exercise:)
