Mounting Halo 2s

I just ordered 176 halo 2s and I am 5'11 145. I know that there are many threads already on this subject but there are too many answers. Anyone ski on them and recommend a certain mount? I was thinking like -.5 or -1 just because of the earlier tip rocker but still kind of iffy cause i ski only park probably 60% rails. K+ to all

center, the ski is symetrical and has the same amount of rocker in the tip and tail

It has the EST park rocker so both tip and tail have the same subtle rocker with the positive camber underfoot,you'd be fine mounting them centered

Center yo! The halo 2 has rocker in the tip and tail. The al dente has only tip rocker.

possibly the most useless member of this site, buy some skis and post when you actually know something. The ski is nowhere close to symmetrical: 109-121-94-111-101 and there is 30cm tip rocker and 25cm (off the top of my head, possibly 20cm) tail rocker.

That said I rode 2 pairs of Halo 1s at true center and they skied ok, for 60% rails I would still go center. Having a little shorter running surface in front than behind the boot due to rocker really doesnt matter that much, it just makes nose butters easier. Being in front of the side cut center does affect the carving performance but they are still fun to ski around at center, I never really found it an issue on a park ski.

I just got them and I got them a half centimeter back because of the rocker. Mike hornbeck and Casablanca all ride them .5 because because of that! I would say listen to the people that know what they are talking about! Not saying I know what I'm talking about but still. The people that told me have more exoeriance
