put the skis next to eachother, but flip one around so the tails are pointing the same way as the nose on the other. If the bindings line up perfectly, they are center mounted.

I have last years punx. Noticed that but I'm pretty sure its just the center mark. a fully symmetrical ski is going to have a true center mounting mark.

When it says team center it just means its the traditional team mount as well as center.

this is why every normal freeskier marks ski center (or the mounting point that they want) on their own so that the shop cant fuck up

Ehh i wouldnt be too sure about this, i marked my afterbangs for center last year and didnt have time to measure them at the shop. so when i got home i measured them and it wasnt mounted center, too double check i lined my skis up next to each other and they were mounted like race skis

if you take a permanent marker and mark where you want your skis then the shop will mount there. its best to mark yourself since the topsheet isnt 100% lined up

team center is where ever the pro team likes the ski mounted. It could be like .5in back or 2in back. i think you will be fine

When are ski companies going to start marking "true center" on park skis? Considering almost all park skiers mount true center these days.
