How much difference does board weight make. Does a heavier board track better or worse?

dmacrafic, Everything makes a difference, from length to weight. The smallest amount, ie. 1 inch or 1 lb can make that much of a difference.

Anywhere around 10 lbs should be a good weight though.

9 pounds is good
