Remounting bindings on park skis

Couple of months ago i mounted my J Whip It's on the recommended line (-2cm), because i thought i would use them a little bit more all mountain.
My current situation is that i ski park 95% of the time, and the position of the binding seems like it would hold back my progress.
Should and can i remount my sticks to true center, and will it fuck up the structure?
I know im basically a noob who doesnt know shit, and having a setback on a symetrical twin tip is as stupid as it gets.

Yeah you can remount them, just make sure you plug the holes properly so no water can go in a rot your core

Just leave them at what you have them at, it is highly unlikely that you will ever notice it

Doubt you'll notice at all, plenty of skis that are park-oriented have recommended freestyle mounts around there or further back anyway. If you do want to get them remounted all you need is about 1cm between any old and new holes and to make sure they're plugged tight with pegs & glue. Any decent shop can sort it out for you, but like I said probably not worth it.

yeah as said you can totally remount them as long as you give the old hole some closure and dont drill too close to them

BUT

don't do it. those are already mounted plenty far forward, youre not missing anything by not being center mounted and there are downsides to center mounting

yeah dont go forward. Way more drawbacks than gains, especially only going 2 forward. doubt you would even notice a swing weight difference OP.
