So i just got a pair of thalls back from the shop after being mounted, I specifically wrote measures center on the form. Upon getting them back they mounted them about 2 centimeters ahead of reccomend which would still be a half centimeter back from measured center. However, the skis appear to have the same amount of tip and tail so I'm womdering if it was the mounting lines that were off?

Hahaha, a half a centimeter won't make a difference at all... Also at that little a difference there's also a very good chance you measured wrong.

It is very common for the mounting lines that are printed on the topsheet to be incorrect for any brand of ski as far as i know. I have a brand new pair of revisions and the center line on one ski is a whole centimeter in front of the other ski. Most tech's will disregard the lines and measure with a tape. Chances are, your bindings were mounted where you asked and the lines are incorrect. Also, totally possible that homeboy at the shop totally fucked up.

Your boot has a center mark, usually an arrow. Click your boot in and measure with a tape and you will know for sure.

This. It's normal for the mounting lines to be a bit off. This occurs from natural machine error. Usually its very small and shouldn't affect it much.
