Is customizing junior rackets the same as for standard?

Can someone share your science, physics or anecdotal based thoughts on customizing rackets in regards to junior (I.e. shorter) sticks?

I’m experimenting for a variety of reasons, but mostly curiosity because I don’t understand what “should” happen when I make changes.

- I have a 25” stick I’m messing around withVery light in every way.
- for a 27” stick, give me any racket within these specs and I’m decently happy with it: 335-345sw, 335g-345g weight (string, gripped), 12.25in-13in balance.

for the 27” stick, once in that range, I’ll just play test based on feel from there, but use recoil weight, mgri, polarization calculations as a guide in what I call the refinement stage.

So a few specific questions:
- does the calculation for polarization depend on racket length? If im trying to make the short racket more polarized, how do I calculate and compare to the standard length spec I already know I like?
- do I need to think of the balance point range different to accommodate that the racket is shorter? What’s the best way to convert that?
- any other major considerations or links to calculators where you can adjust length of racket as needed?
