i have the jj's and i think hands down the best spot is at recommended. i wanted to scoot it forward when i bought them but ended up going on the line and it's been great! it's a short sidecut so you don't want to move it around too much or it'll mess with how it skis, plus you'll still have enough tail. so if you do move it forward i would try to only move it a little. why the duke if you ride mostly park? if you're hiking around that's cool, but if you aren't totally sold on that then you could check out the schizo so you can move the binding around.

I agree ...

Go with Armada's mark as the ski has a very short area of sidecut

I mean no harm in thread jacking you. I am also looking to set up a [air of JJ's with dukes for AT purposes. I ski  EP pros and have a pair of Surface Live life. I was wondering what size you all would recommend. I am 5' 8" 150 and I am an aggressive skier that skis in colorado. I would be using these for my BC excursions. I am very comfortable on my EP pros with their length but I was wondering If I should get the 185 JJ, hoping the extra length would not hinder skinning back up the hill for more turns? Any Ideas? Thank you and again sorry for the thread jack.

I second this.

It's the recommended spot for a reason.

If u search the forums from last year u will find a lot of talk for 2009 JJ's - don't know about 2010 being different - Quote below

2009

Thanks for the email and most importantly thanks for picking up some JJs this season.  I can 100% guarantee you made a good selection and you will not be disappointed.  If you’ve never skied fat rocker technology, you’ll wonder where these skis have been during your epic pow days of the past.  I get stoked just talking about the JJ and ARG; both skis literally change the way you will ski pow, and better yet you’ll be able to ski longer as this technology relieves a lot of the effort during the deep days.  Without going on and on about the skis, let me get to your questions.  Our factory recommended mount point on the JJ is -5cm from center; this point should be indicated on the ski by a line.  To get the most accurate measurement I would recommend measuring 82.5cm up from the tail and mark your midsole there.  At this point you will maximize the effective sidecut underboot.  Give that the sidecut is very compact on the JJ it is best to get everything you can out of the sidecut, and subsequent turn radius.  Anthony, JP and Julien use our factory recommended line; however, Tanner and Jakob both mount at -3cm from center because they ski and land switch quite often.  If you don’t plan on running the switch landing/skiing program too often definitely mount at the factory recommended line.  Hope this helps you out.  If you have any further questions please let me know.  Thanks again and enjoy the winter.

I think this is the future of bindings! I hope they hold up.

picking a single mounting point is such a big dilemma for so many people!
