So I just got some Armada B dogs and the factory recomended isn't center, they will be my park skis so should I still mount them center?

how far back from center are they, because I am in the same boat with the al dentes. The al dentes are -2.5 from true center so what are the B dogs?

Yea, I think that I will mount them true center or do it halfway in between true center and -2.5.... So roughly -1.5 or when I go to mount my bindings at my nearest ski shop, I will see what they have to say. I have also talked to an Armada representative and he said if you ski park a lot and ski switch a lot that is when you should mount them true center. Think of this though, go find a ruler and see how much 2.5 cm really is..... I have talked to quin wolferman (user of the al dentes.... also check him out on youtube) and he just has his at -2.5cm and he says "you can't really even tell a difference." So before I mount them i will talk to the person mounting my bindings and will see what they have to say. Good luck!

I looked on the armada website and they say that their recommended mounting points are well thought out and studied. I've also seen clips of pros, including bdog himself, having these skis not center

I almost always mount mine .5cm behind center. I really don't think it makes much of a difference but I do it anyway. I've been on volkl walls though.

Mount them on the factory recommended line. It's only an inch back from true center, and if you take into consideration the nose rocker and how the ski will lay when your weight is on it, the line is actually is centered between the ski's contact points with the snow. If the mount it forward of the line you will be working against the skis effective edge when you turn, which is just stupid.
