Counterweight PC?

[scooterguitar]

Ok, basic ? from an oldie here...
I am waiting on new 5.5 flats and HT LC pads to arrive this week!
I have basically only used the Edge system since I got into this years ago. It has a counterweight that says for 6" pads only.

To use my new pads, do I take off the counterweight or leave it on? Thanks

I have a 14 year old 1st generation which says the same thing and I use 5 1/2" and 4" without issues...

Because there's so little difference between the two diameters I'd leave it on...

leave it alone! it will work just fine.

The use of counterweight is related to sanding...
For polishing/compounding just leave as it is.
