Mount Point on Edollos Right?

Hi guys,
I got some Armada Edollos 180cm last year and this year I got some Look Pivots 15 95mm for Christmas. I took them to the shop and had the new bindings mounted. I told them I want it to be factory recommended. Now it sits at about 1.5 cm behind the factory recommend line, because it would not fit at the recommended line, because of the holes of the old binding. Is this mount point still alright? I’m skiing like 50% Park on these and it’s getting more. I just got into Park skiing last year and I got to do my first 180s, 360s and Boxslides. Is this mounting Point good for doing nose butters and just general park skiing? I think it’s about 5cm behind the center?

i forget what the recommended mount point is on e dollos (and a lot of armadas have had two recommended mount points in recent years; can't remember if dollos are one of them) but 1.5cm is basically nothing. like you could push the bindings on my skis up or back 1.5cm at any time and i would 1000% never notice. so you're definitely good man

also armadas don't have far back mount points at all. so going back from one a little should def not worry you at all, they'll definitely still be a very center-oriented mount

Looks fine. Dollos are fairly directional anyway so shouldn’t be a huge deal

Nice sticks, the dollos rip hard. The mount point should be perfect especially if you're only 50% park

Listen bro, you’re one of us now. When you go in the shop you tell them true f****** center and watch them draw a line to make sure.

Off the top of my head (I haven't skied an EDollo in years, great ski though), they used to mark -2.5 and -5cm as 'recommended' mount point options, with somewhere around -3/4cm being the actual sidecut center. I 'think' they now only mark -2.5 as the factory recommended. So if you're at 1.5cm behind that, you're gonna be pretty close to perfect on the sidecut center which should ski great and still within the range Armada used to recommend.

The nose on the Dollo is super soft so in terms of butters, you'll be fine (and being a little back will help with tailbutters too). I very much doubt you'll feel any difference from before on jumps and you might notice they ski a little better on trails. Basically, don't overthink it, you'll be all good.

Oh well then it should be pretty good. Yeah I don’t really think I’ll notice any difference. And I’m also just starting out in the park.
Really great help bro, tysm.
