Help With Bindings

Alright guys, so I'm buying Future Spins 2015 model off a friend for cheap, barely been used. I have some Marker Griffon Schizos on another pair of skis I no longer use, but not sure if they will be right for my purposes. Should I transfer the Schizos over to the new skis? If I am riding primarily park do I need to buy new bindings? Budget is fairly low at the moment, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

Transfering bindings should be fine. If they work now, they'll work on the new skis.

but are they the right fit for new skis... i have heard griffon schizos are not great in the park and id rather not put them on what are going to be my primary skis if thats true... the other skis they are on didnt see much use so im not sure what to expect

I have a friend that uses jester schizos (pretty much the same as griffin schizos except they have higher dins) for his park skis and they're fine. He sends doubles with them too. It is good to have a low enough binding for a park ski but the schizo is only .3mm higher than the standard royal family bindings so you should be fine.

not ideal for those skis as the whole premise of the schizo is to change the mounting point (which I assume you likely won't do), but they would work just fine.

Probably not but I was more worried that the track required for the binding to change would add a lot of weight

Griffon Schizo - [90mm] 5 lb 6.7 oz, [110mm] 5 lb 6.92 oz

Griffon - [90mm] 4 lb 2.67 oz, [110mm] 4 lb 3.02 oz
