I have the 2015 SR 95s (green, black, silver) with an atomic demo binding. I have had them for a long time and love them. I'm not sure why I haven't done this earlier but today I moved my mount point. I have skied them for years according to the correct BSL chart on the demo binding. This put my boot center just slightly behind the line. A friend suggested I move them forward, so I went up one setting on the toe and set the heel for correct forward pressure. It looks to have moved me about 1cm forward. Now my boot center is slightly in front of the line.
I'm not sure if it is a placebo effect, but the skis felt very different today. Can that small of a change make a big difference? I am still trying to decide if I like it. On groomers they seemed to have more engergy, initiating turns quicker and actually seemed to have more pop coming out of a turn (more playful). This was accompanied by feeling less stable at speed. Perhaps I will get used to it, but I just didn't have the confidence I normally do over 40MPH. In the bumps, they seemed quicker and less demanding leaving my legs a bit fresher. Unfortunately, there was no powder to test.
Again, it is hard to believe such a small change would have such noticeable results. Maybe it's in my head. Hoping for some feedback. Is this normal?
