What do you mean neutral position?
then it's a good question how factory determine what is Marked position?
I assuming you never tried to experiment with range of +2 --2cm from the mark?
All my factory made skis have demo bindings and on ALL of them I moved my position +2 to 3 cm even purchased new Fisher watea94( now for sale obviously) I bought new marker griffon demo so position can be adjusted I simply couldn't skis them on first day at neutral position.
I'm not saying there is significant difference.... it might be no difference at all for someone. For me there are noticeable difference in ski performance.
I think with binding position skier should have choice to experiment and factory marked spot should be more in line of guidelines not the rules
So I guess I'm in the camp of......mounting position does make a difference and its nice to be able to adjust.Although I wouldn't see myself changing it per run, maybe by the day :0
Just my $.02
This discussion just made me think of a great new gimmick to sell....Ski Extenders!! These would be little caps you could put on your tips to make your skis longer or shorter based on conditions. "Are the glades closed and you are stuck on the groomers? Wishing you had a longer ski? Add Ski Extenders© and turn those 179s into 182s. The ladies will love your extra length and you will feel the performance in ever turn!"
note: Ski Extenders© have not been tested by the PSIA and have not been shown to have any tangible impact on your actual ski performance or the impression of 'the ladies'
Absolutely love them. Great edge hold for a ski its size, quick edge to edge for the size as well. Bust through crud great. A little cumbersome in the bumps, but that's to be expected for a 107 waist ski.
Yes the do fell longer than 177.Yes, but actual length is more like 181. The 185s I'm told are close to 190
