This is absolutely true and a hard to dispute fact that the higher weight allows a coach to create much better balanced figure because the weight can be adeded LOW. A "classic" tudor figure was actually about 1.4g and placed on a 0.8g rookie base was only 2.2g. This is not nearly as robust as a 4.0g figrue placed on a vibrating table as minor variations in the boards vibrations have a much larger effect on the light players. The RB breaks thru the hole, he's at the 30-20-10...oh he takes a left turn and runs out at the 5! You know we all cringe when that happens.

You want the weight LOW LOW LOW in the "athlete" (figure + base) in order to improve playability. 4.0 weighted category allows for this! PROGRESS

Two categories:
3.2g classic
4.0g weighted/customs
