I can tell you haven't seen the inspiration for this...Or were you at Sacramento, L.A., or Championships '05? Those tetras were heavier than the balls are this year. There wasn't any counterbalancing then on 330. (And 330 used a modified West Coast drive.)

I wouldn't worry too much about the balancing or the trackball weight.
