i'm a pretty aggressive skier, i've mounted my skis all over the place. with my hellbents i was 4 cm back to center mount. too far back makes you feel in less control, i like the center mount but when you drop big enough you sink too evenly and almost lose your float. i wanna mount my 184's sir francis bacons about 1 cm back what are your thoughts. i am open to most opinions

sounds like you don't ski park much, I'd go 1.5-2cm back for that setup personally.

1 cm back isn't going to feel any different. If you want more all mountain performance, I would say go at least 3 cm back. In my opinion, if you are going 3 cm back or closer, just go center.

I'd say -10 or +10. 10 is the lucky number in mounting skis, always has been and always will be.

Scientific studies have shown that if you mount one ski +4 and the other ski -4, floatation prowess increases by 157%!
