I think it does. I have the forged **** and it made the throws easier. I also got less vibration through the shift ****. Im guessing the extra weight had a vibration dampening effect.

I have the forge big ****, the shifting feels more precise and smoother, I also have the neuspeed short shift kit. One downside is the **** is very unpleasant to hold when its winter time :-(

Had a 520g custom Tommy Kaira inspired shift **** made.
The weight def gives shifting a more solid feel.

Damn, must be nice... I've had my eye on the Razo RA25. 340g and ball style. pretty good price too. I just can't convince myself to drop over $100 on a a shift ****. This one meets my criteria so it'll do. http://www.more-japan.com/razo-aluminum-round.html
