Well Ken we need abit more info. Are you looking for a one piece pen such as a Sierra, a two piece pen such as cigar style or are you looking for a capped pen such as a Baron or Jr gent??? All these are good balanced pens. When using capped pens, sometimes when you post the cap on the pen it makes it top heavy but you can eliminate that by not posting. The danger here is loosing the cap. There are times when shaping a pen barrel can distribute the weight differently. By adding bulges to the bottom half of a pen can make it feel heavier in the bottom and vice versa if you do it to the top.
