OK i got a K18 on a titanium cs10 and i realized it is very top heavy. is that y people say they feel more \"ball\". did i waste 200+ bucks just for a top heavy p2 that i could have made myself?!

top heavy you say....hmm everyone else that has that combo or one of greater weighted head [x3] said the head was very light.

Eh...With the ball in there, of course its topheavy.
I've used a k18 and Ti CS...It wasnt topheavy at all without a ball in it.

almost every stick is top heavy if you have ball in it maybe not the bionic/ powermaster

p2 on a kpro
k18 is lighter than a p2, and a kpro is ligther then a ti crank, so it should be feeling bottom heavy..

actually the ti cs is amazingly lighter than any titanium ever...it is actually a bit heavier than my 803. the k18 is actually heavier than the p2 since i compared them and the k18 is thicker and has more plastic....im not saying top heavy is bad im just asking if its supposed to feel this way...

I suggest you check out the training forum for some workout tips...
With a stick that light you really should have no concern about something being top heavy.
And btw
P2=132 grams
k18=135 grams
Those 3 grams really make no difference...
And still at 135 grams thats only a 4.82 oz head...which is pretty light...
I think he means bottom heavy?

it forces the ball away from your hand which is the balance point toward the top of the head so its going to feel heavier than normal head

get a normal crankshaft, not the titanium
