This comment really makes me think, as I had no idea.
"Increasing the counterweight mass and then moving it closer to the pivot in order to maintain the same VTF will reduce the eff mass."
This could really help someone I think, in some cases at least. I wonder though how to judge how much the eff mass is reduced when the heavier weight is added and slid forward...would this be figured by somehow reducing or subtracting the actual amount of weight added to the counterweight to begin with from the starting eff mass without the extra weight??
