Hey guys,

Planning on buying the Faction Prodigy 2.0s since they seem to fit my needs. Wondering where I should mount my bindings though. The recommended mount is 8 cm from center on the 189cm which seems far back to me.

I ride like 60% park and 40% rest of the mountain. How would you guys mount them?

Also would you recommend these skis, or would you go for something else? Kinda a newbie on gear :/

I had a pair of the 2.0s, pretty much only rode park on them so i had them mounted at true center but by the sounds of it youd probably want to be around 2-4 cm back from true center

2 back from center would be ideal for what you’re riding. It’s not a symmetrical ski so mounting dead center if you’re not skiing park 100% of the time would throw you off. 2 back is perfect because you’re close enough to center that it’ll spin quick and won’t feel tip or tail heavy and will still feel good skiing the rest of the mountain

Okay I’ll probably go for -2 cm. Did you enjoy them?
