Personally I got into park skiing last year and and learned some basic tricks such as 180, 360, rails and that was on rentals. Recently purchased new Skis : Head the Caddy 2015. And being 50% park 50% all mountain skier i was gonna install the bindings (Marker Griffon) about 2-3 cm down from center. However the ski personal advised me to go 1 cm up from recommended mark by head, which is about 7 cm down from center. And now i feel like i might have screwed up the the first skis for myself in regards to park skiing. What do you guys think? Would i still be find and im just worring too much?

Go -2cm from true center or even -1cm. Really depends on how comfy you would be on skiing close to center.

going +1 from recommended is basically pointless. either go center/ furthest forward line from the manufacturer, or go to the recommended/ traditional point. +/- 1 cm from anything makes such a little difference that it kinda sounds stupid to ask the tech for...

If you want to actually continue skiing in the park, having them center mounted is going to make things much easier and more enjoyable for you.

I own those skis. Core center is true center on that specific make/ model. This is where I mounted mine, they charge. I recommend going into a shop and asking for core center. There is a mounting scale on the side wall whitch is nice to give you a feel for where exactly your mid sole will fall after your mount.

I go -.5cm and ski mostly park. I'd go about -2cm. I few seasons ago when I first started hitting kinked rails and did my first 900, I had my bindings at -2.5cm. If you're not hitting jumps switch, It won't make a huge difference.
