i reckon how much the staff "flows" through contacty stuff isn't really dependent on how heavy the staff is, but on the ratio of:-
{total staff weight} to {weight on the ends}
Too much weight on the ends = crazy runaway staff that you can't control
Too little weight on the ends = not enough momentum, slows to a stop during moves then falls on the floor with an embarrassing *clonk*
Additional point: When I say weight 'on the ends' thats not an either/or judgement. Its a sliding scale based on distance from the centre.
A 500g weight 1 foot away from the staff centre is equal to a 1kg weight 2 foot away from the centre (i think)
