Armada Halo 2/ Center is way off

Well that's a huge problem. Just measure to where you want to mount. I never go by the line anyway cause in most cases it's off from what it says

Yes. Sadly this is common for Armada skis. They're top sheet allignments is pretty shoddy. I've seen pairs with up to 4cm difference in the marked lines. A good tech will check for things like misaligned top sheets and compensate for it when mounting but if they're slammed at work, having a bad day or not very good they might not and could end up unintentionally fucking up your mount. the best thing to do is to measure the skis and work out exactly where you want them mounted and either draw on the mount line or mark it on with tape. Yes it might seem a little insulting to the tech that you have marked on yourself obviously where to mount it but its understandable when you drop so much money on a new set up that you do what you can to make sure it's right.

It's a fairly common problem with Armada.

Thanks for the response guys, mine is definitely off by more than 6cm, which is quite annoying considering that I dropped 550 bucks for this pair.

Ya like said earlier, never go by the top sheet recommendation as hey might lay down the top sheet way of from the other ski. The only time the recommendation is 100% accurate is it its on the SIDEWALL, that is because every ski that is a 176, will be a 176.

On my alpha Xs there were the graphic markings, then in light blue ink closer to the sidewall they stamped little notches for actual -2.5 and -5.0. Those were correct on my skis. I didn't notice the stamp right away, but does the Halo 2 have something similar?

mine have the light blue stamps as well...

The sidewall marking is usually dead on, but I have see multiple sets of APO skis (sammyC's and Hutch's) where the sidewall markings were printed backwards...Center was about -2, SC (Sammy mount) was -1, and traditional was at a +4 of center! Woo.

Always measure, always

this is very common with almost all skis, top sheets are big rectangles on top of the layers and when going into a press it's very easy for it to shift a bit. ALWAYS measure your skis and mark with tape/pen where you want them mounted, never trust what is on the graphic.
