  *****When you do this do you end up with a strike line that changes by the amount
  that you move the stack? Forced to change the distance of hamer moulding center 
  to hammer flange center in order to maintain the original strike line?
  This could give a leverage advantage toward the bass section if I move the stack
  accordingly.
  As any of these sort of changes have consequences and tradeoffs - it sounds like it is better to have
  the even whippen weight ratio?

  Thanks again for your patience and assistance.
