Default How do you customize your stick??

Ok I've decided to try to customize my ncode tour 90. I'm going to try to add lead take and weight to the butt cap to make the balance extremely close to the ps85. Also I'm going to add that leather to the bottom of the strings to see if that will dampen the "ping" sound without losing the feel. I think that is what they do. I hope this works!

So has there ever been an awesome customization you have done or heard of that you loved!?? Lets hear some stories/setups!

The leather things are called power pads... To me they are like a dampener. Just try MANY different things and see what you like, remember, lead tape is cheap.

I've always been curious but do you just put three(if 16x 1 pattern, in the throat, or do you put in 5 with the extra two just outside of the throat? I've been dying to try it out and would like some feedback.
