Basically just that? I've read all the oh look at the rocker profile, your skis will explode etc, but has anyone actually tried?

Why would you want to be centred on the ski when it will result in having more effective tail then tip? THEY WILL EXPLODE MAN.

I mounted them -1 but a lot of people at Slopestyle in Breck said they've mounted them center and loved them. I don't know if it messes up the entire symmetry of the ski but there's that.

Mine are mounted at center. I though about mounting them back but like is -1 or 2 really gonna make a huge feel. Like I can't notice a difference my friend put his at center to

mine are mounted 1 cm forward of factory recommended and I believe that is where Henrik has his mounted as well. it gives 86cm of tail and 90cm of tip which actually with the nose rocker gives a center mount feeling

oh well not really sure what to do. I've never skied a park ski back from centre since my OG 1080s.
I've had Elizabeths, Bacons, Halos, Recoils, Ar6s, Anthems, Domains, Reno Rockers/Jibs Blends etc some of which are symmetrical, some of which aren't, all mounted at true centre and enjoyed them all except Blends, which I found too soft in both the nose and tail.

if you thought the blends were soft just wait until you try the al dente's sooooo buttery

I'm pretty sure the Al Dente is stiffer in the Nose and Tail than the Blend. At least hand flexing suggests it is much stiffer.
