Is it posible that my binding are not in the center of my skis(they are more at the back)? Do I have to re drill them?

*extra information: I started skiing last year so maybe the guy drilled them a little bit at the back for some reason...

Flip one of the skis upside down and the other the right way up and face them base to base. slide them down and if your toe piece on the upward facing ski touches the heal piece on the downward facing ski then your skis are truely centred.

If you just started skiing, it will likely be easier for you to master the basics with a traditional mount. Go center when you are consistently taking off and landing switch.

Measure the ski and take the total length and cut it in half. Mark that point somehow. Put your boot in the binding. See where the boot center line sits compared to the center mark you made. Its probably 4-7cm back from center. If you want them at ski center, you'll have to have them re-drilled.
