I cut both end. Not for balance though.
The very narrowest part of the taper seems to be too thin so I cut the bottom 2-3 inches (Pole dependent). Meaning the taper can be used to wedge the head firmly in place and the pole is thick enough to allow a secure fastening.
I then cut the excess from the other end to bring the mallet down to my preferred length.
