Mounting my chronics at center?

Already have my Chronics mounted at recommended (2 centimeters back) and i heard they are amazing if they are mounted at center. So i took them into my local ski shop and they basically said i should just leave them where they are because thats where its recommended that i have them mounted. Is it worth re-drilling just to have them moved to center? I dont really care at all about resale price going down.

i mean money isnt really a problem to an extent. in that i have my own job, im still in high school (no bills to pay... yet) and every dollar i make im currently saving. i do pretty much 90% park so i feel like center mounting is the way to go but im still not completely on board... i just dont want to go through the trouble. someone can try and sway my opinion here though.

I had the orange chronic's, the 08/09 ones i believe, I had them wherever the line was, after I got new skis I had them mounted center, and imo were way better then set back, I've ridden everything centered ever since and I love it.

Ive had 3 skis that were all set back, until i got a centered pair and OMG its so much better, especially on rails. So if you really want to get them centered, do it

I refuse to ride anything but center, rails are so much better on them.

a lot of it is a mental block, if it were more that -2 back i would say year redrill, but -2 is only that, 2 cm...

thats not a lot ride your skis and enjoy them, when you get new ones then center mount.
