So I have a stunt Sentinel le v4 with a 36" heavy grade blade. As it was, the balance point was 2 to 3 inches up the blade from the emitter.

I have a small collection of foreign coins, so I made a small stack of the bigger ones and wrapped the stack in electrical tape until it fit snugly into the bottom of my saber (with a small tape loop at the bottom if I ever need to pull it out).

The balance point of the saber is now exactly where the blade meets the emitter. The slight change in weight will take a little getting used to, but I can already maneuver the blade more quickly and easily.

Great hack Solstice Lacer!

Yes, I've found that a saber's point of balance is quite important for such things.  

Many swap the pommels as well. Smiley

Thanks Rapine Smiley

I considered a pommel change but I just painted my current one and I'm pretty happy with it

Thanks Gumby. By the way I don't think I've ever complimented your username. If I'm not mistaken it's a very funny Eddie Murphy SNL reference. +1

Great idea on manipulating the balance point of the saber, SL. I’ll have to try that. Point incoming
