Where to mount my faction prodigy 2.0s?

I just recently bought a pair of 2021 faction prodigy 2.0s, but I don’t know exactly where to mount them. I want to ski them as more of a freestyle ski. I will use them 70% all mountain and 30% park. The company’s recommended mount point for freestyle skiing is about 4.7 cm back from true center, but I feel like that is a little far back. Would it be a bad idea to mount them at 2 or 3 cm from true center, or should I just mount them at the recommended -4.7?

I ski mine at true center, but mainly because they're my park skis. I'd agree that -4.7cm is a bit far back. You do need to be careful though when looking at "recommended" lines, as sometimes the graphic isn't always printed the exact same and they can be off. I'd probably recommend doing your -2 or -3 or so from center and you'll have a good time.

I have a 2.0 at -2 from center and it’s my park ski too. Rides great there, and when I do go out and just ride groomers I can still get over the front of it and carve hard. I’d say go -2 for a perfect balance of freestyle skiing and all-mountain capability
