Replying to 2017 Sir Francis Bacon.

Alright team,

So I'm gonna buy some SFBs, I was going to wait till the new 2018s came out but I've found a decent deal for the 2017s, plus I like the shark graphics.

However, I've got a friend who works in a ski shop and he's told me that the 2017 has a few dodgy batches where the core is less than perfect - can't drill in the bindings as the core doesn't hold them in or something along those lines.

I can't seem to find any real info on it, is this true? Has anyone had any issues with their 2017 SFBs?
