I tried caps myself and didn't like them, and some of the best shooters around don't use them. Having said that, other people do well with them.
I reckon y*ou're one, *despite being inventive and good quality, is so hard to maneuver, it messes up the timing of your swings and negates and potential increase in accuracy provided by the cap. A couple of hundred grams sounds trivial, but at the end of a 1m shaft it feels a lot more heavy.
I also hate making mallets, but I hate playing with shit ones more.
