put them back 3-5 inches if youre not gonna ride a ton of park, i rode park last year with some traditionally bound skis and its fine, honestly i dont see a lot of skis that are true centered at all, most skis that look centered are set back 2 or 3 inches.

what kind of skis (yes it does matter - they have different flex patterns which are affected by the mount)

INCHES??? are you sure you don't mean centimeters, cause 2 inches is over 5cm - which is a lot. -2cm is usually a good mounting point for all mountain, but again, the ski does matter (especially if it's a symmetrical ski like Walls or Anthems)

Do NOT put them back 3-5 inches! I'd recommend mounting 3 CM back from center for all-around performance.

Dude, most all mountain skis have recommended mounting lines back at least 5 cm from core center.

My touring skis are like 7cm back.

center mount sucks in pow by the way...
