Currently have 4g split up at 3 and 9 and like what it has done for my sweet spot width and stability.

While I am generally happy with the results so far, i would like it to extend the sweet spot lower if possible... However, I don't want to do this at the expense of sacrificing some of the top of the paddles sweet spot.

Would removing the 3 and 9 setup i have and adding weights on the 4 corners give me most of the benefits of 3 and 9's wider central sweet spot while extending the length of it? Does the 4 corners method provide any extra stability? (my paddle needs it)

I'm in between trying the 4 corners next or the Ben John's throat up to 4 and 8 to try retain my current setups stability but don't want to waste a bunch of tape and court time with trial and error if someone can provide me some info that i can't seem to find on my own.

Final question:
Does the throat to 4 and 8 actually lower the overall sweet spot or just extend what you already have downwards?

Thanks in advanced!
