As an alternative to metal and metal inserts, high-density plastic materials with customizable specific gravity, which can range from 1.5 to 11, can be used for weighting and balancing.
Durometer is the international standard for measuring the hardness of rubber, plastic and other nonmetallic materials.
To accommodate extreme temperatures, you can use a plastic material with a tackier chemistry to compensate for loss of grip strength and prevent slipping.
