In recent occasions I have discovered that the best POB (point of balance) is generally around a hand to two hands width up the blade from the guard. This is so the point of pivoting it low enough to have decent control but also to be able to hit harder and stronger. This is due to the more weight you have towards the end the more power you will get just from shear weight. This also helps with speed. I hope i was of some use. Mando ;)
