I place them where they are needed and designed for the application.
My current project is some Walleye Planer Board Rods.
The split grips are places for proper seating while in my rods holders.
Balance is not Really needed for this application, however, they still balance nicely.
I would go for the “Looks AWESOME”
Effect, and then a balance as needed.
