Will mounting my blogs 3 cm back from true center be enough to prevent tip dive

Technique is more important, mount on the line unless you ski switch, then minus 2 or 3 would be good.

I have mine at the team line and have never experienced tip dive in two years at schweitzer where we have gotten some deal days

Do u ever ski switch? Would the team line still allow me to ski switch with little difficulties?

I've ski'd them at both -1cm and -2cm (the team line) and have never experienced too much tip dive unless it was in like 20 inches of pow. haha. Not going to hate on your skiing without seeing it but maybe there's something in your technique?

I don't think going -3cm instead of the team line will do too much except possibly harbor some performance while skiing switch. I love the way the ski'd switch at both mounting positions I've tried.

are you meaning to say "from" the team line? The -2cm I was talking about is from the true center mark which is what the team line is. I'd go with mounting on the team line

Ya I mean I'm mounted 2 cm before team line. I figured this would give me good switch skiing ability as well as enough tip to avoid tip dive. Sorry for the confusion

Mount then at team, there is a reason it's marked there, they are great switch or foward there.

If you don't ski switch, mount at the suggested mount point. It will be marked on the skis.

Just get in the backseat and it wont matter where you mount them.

I'd go-2 though. Thats what all the kool kids are doing these days....
