Why this setup?

I like to add as little weight as possible to get the result I want, and this setup got me there. The paddle needed a small sweet spot boost and more plowthrough. Weight higher on the face improves the sweet spot through the strike zone, while weight at the bottom of the neck brought the balance point (since it's high for a hybrid) down and adds the mass needed to carry through the ball better. I experimented with more weight on the sides, but ultimately preferred the split setup. It brings the balance point down and keeps the paddle feeling light and maneuverable along with the sweet spot and plow through benefits I was looking for.
