the center of gravity.

First of all, because of the large number of knots, the short-section pole is relatively thicker. The longer it is, the more knots it has, and the thicker the bottom handle is. Therefore, the relative center of gravity is relatively backward, and it feels lighter (simple mechanical principle), but the actual weight is not necessarily light.

Long-section poles can be made thinner because of the few knots. Some low-grade poles just pursue ultra-fine and ultra-hard and ignore the proportion of the center of gravity. In addition, the low-tonnage carbon cloth is used, the pole wall is very thick, and the solid tip makes the center of gravity close to the front end, which makes it feel heavy to hold in your hand.

whereas the top-grade hand pole is not, it is made of high-tonnage carbon cloth (generally more than 4 tons) and hollow top. After adjustment, the center of gravity is generally relatively backward, and some even indicate the distance between the center of gravity and the bottom handle. This kind of pole will feel very light in your hand, and it has better tonality and maneuverability.
