I need to get my bindings remounted because i got new boots and i was thinking about getting a true center mount since i plan on doing mostly park. since its not a symmetrical ski will it ride different at true center or will it not be very noticeable?

so i found the balance point of the press and it's a good 4-5 cm forward of the core center. i don't have a tape measure handy to see if this is the dead center point of the ski, but it looks like it is.

will this be a problem mounting there, since it's not a true twin tip and the core center is where the center of the sidecut is? will turns be more difficult if the boot is forward of the natural carving apex point of the skis?

please help. ++k for good answers

im in the same position: got new boots, im planning on remounting my press's at center today. i have some questions for gear talk though:

do i need hole plugs, or can i just fill the old holes with epoxy?
how wide of a bit should i use? i researched the web and could only find 3.5mm and 5/32 inch (idk if those are the same, i havent checked)
how deep should i drill?
