I tested placing the weight lower, which achieved the same twist weight, but keeping it centered felt more natural through the swing. Lower placement shifted the balance point and didn’t move through the air as cleanly. There is a small swingweight bump, but with the static weight staying low, you feel the added forgiveness more than the added heft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe result:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis subtle change tightens up the sweet spot and reinforces the strike zone, giving a modest boost in forgiveness, power, and overall feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wouldn’t add or remove weight here, but you can slide it up or down about an inch.
