The heads are heavey, but it is more because of the fact the shafts were shorter in the era and that made the shafts lighter and stiffer. The heaver head would do as you say "counter ballance and bring back the flex point. Although, this might be why everyone though Hogan's shafts felt so stiff and I believe that the dead weight was like C-9... I am not 100% on this but I was told by someone that knew Hogan very well that he added lead under the grip so not to feel the heavier end as much. I am suspecting if this is true that he did not want to worrie were the club head was and to trust what he had practiced being more aware of where the hands were..IMO
