Replying to Moment Wildcat 108 Tour / Shift Binding - Horrible combo? Bad ski? Please help

whistles:
I bought the wildcat tour 108 in 184 and mounted shift bindings at the forward mounting point (I think -4 from true center). I am very disappointed in the "pop" of the ski. The plus side is it rips GS type turns and I dont feel like they are getting deflected for a light ski. However, anything I try to jump off they feel absolutely dead to the point I dont feel like Im getting up at all and Im going to go over the handle bars. To verify I brought them inbounds through the keystone jump line and it was to the point it was scary. Is this the ski? Is it the mounting point with the Shift with a large mounting plate? I'm thinking of selling the ski but almost feel guilty like Im selling a car with a bad transmission. I was excited for the twin tip touring option but it seems like anything but a playful freestyle ski.
