For a ski of that type boot center on boot center line is probably the best bet. I would bet that would put the ball of foot pretty close to the narrow point of the ski.
Coming from a guy that has every pair of skis I own mounted pins at balance point, after considerable contemplation for a couple pair. I believe your skis would be best boot center on boot center. If you have tip dive problems you can move them back 2-3 cm.

"I bit the bullet and remounted my shift plate and bindings back at least 5cm on the JJs"
Thought I was the only one left around here that moves back a good bit. Took a few tries on my Objectives, but ended up around 4 or 5cm back from boot center. Started concervatively with my Hyper Vectors, but at 3 or 3.5 cm back, feels like that 4-5 might be the sweet spot. For me.

Re: Bindings 101: Where to mount Telemark bindings (Part I)
I’m a good 3 cm behind the boot center mark on my Tindan. They are mounted on BP. I don’t know if it’s the ideal mounting or not. The ski is as quick edge to edge as I am. I kind of wonder about moving it forward, but if it isn’t broke why fix it?phoenix wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 9:44 pm"I bit the bullet and remounted my shift plate and bindings back at least 5cm on the JJs"
