I notice your sword’s weight distribution could be tweaked for a cleaner, more balanced swing.

It’s not about the sweat, it’s about the geometry—your blade’s mass centre is 0.3 centimeters off, so the swing feels uneven. Adjust it, and the cut will be smoother, not harder.

You’re right, a seasoned hand can adapt to any irregularity, but even a seasoned hand prefers consistent parameters; a small imbalance leads to cumulative fatigue over time. If the blade’s centre of mass is off, the muscle memory you trust will have to compensate, which can erode efficiency. Fixing it now preserves that efficiency, allowing you to focus entirely on technique.

I admire confidence, but a blade that drifts off its centre forces your muscles to adjust constantly, adding fatigue. It’s a small tweak that preserves the rhythm you trust.
