Did you start on the line and move back because you didn't like it or did you just go -2 right off the bat?

On a pair of 186 K106s, I went -2 after experimenting at 0 and -1. I'm 6'2" 220-230, and I think I would have end up -1 on 191s.

What is this not mounting on the line business!? Shenanigans, I tell you!

I had an old set of wrens at +3 out of necessity. They skied great in my opinion. You guys are over thinking this

Same here, I wish I tried my Jeffrey 114s -1.5cm behind the line, before I got rid of them.

I've never understood the mindset that a ski that isn't doing it for you is going to metamorphosize when your change your boot center by 1.5 cm? it really shows a lack of ski sophistication on my part

thois look sweet. Any chance you've seen a pair of 189 wren 108s with K116 topsheets roll through production?

I don't think anyone is saying that. I really, really liked the Jeffrey's but in some cases felt like I was forced to lean back more than I wanted... especially since they were 181... so just that slight adjustment could have made a big difference. I liked them enough that I bought some BG's and then my ON3P addiction was solidified from there.

It’s more when a ski is close for someone, but not quite there.. like the jeffrey 114s were for me.
I find that sometimes it can make or brake a ski for me. I didn’t like katanas at +2cm, but on the line I love them. I want to go -1cm on my skinny Quixotes, I think that will make a difference.
Sometimes on a center-ish mounted ski, going back -1.5 or 2cm can get rid of that “tail sensation”, and give you just a little more tip to allow for a bit more shin pressure and leaning-into. Just as long as they aren’t noodles, in which going back too far translates to tails washing out.

It's not going to change a ski I hate into a ski I love, but I can absolutely feel a 1cm change in mount point and it can absolutely affect my experience on a ski.
Some people just aren't sensitive to mount point though, nothing wrong with that. Personally I can't feel ramp angle in bindings at all, and some people on here report massive differences when they change their ramp angles by a few mm. Like all things, YMMV.

Sensitivity, shmensativity..
The problem is our lack of sophistication

On the contrary, your ability to sense differences in the mount point shows your astute awareness of the ski you're on.
I definitely notice flex, running length and sidecut so not a complete heathen

I’m very sensitive.
