What skis do you ride. What type of skiing do you do mainly. Do you like skiing switch/primarily park use? How good of a skier are you...

Yeah what are you skiing on? I love mine about 2-3 cm back from the very center of the ski.

mount them as far forward as you possibly can, maybe up to the contact points, that way when you land switch youll be all set.

no but seriously, you need to say more about what kinda skier you are and what skis you have if you want real advice, but if you were real smart youd use the search option on the website. its real nice.

mounte them where they are meant to be mounted - centre mounting is good for park, but really sucks all over the mtn. Back from centre is good

i think even good skiers might have a hard time in all moutain or pow on center-mounted bindings
it all depends on what you will be spending more time doing
