last i heard the arrow means core center, while the true center or balance point of the ski is 1.5 but that would put you too far up.

I ended up mounting plus 2 of the arrow but they didnt ski how I wanted them to. I asked blake where he had them and he said at the "made in austria" so I got them moved there tonight. hopefully thats what im looking for

made in austria represents the center of the length of the ski.  the arrow represents the most narrow part of the ski.
