Has anyone tried inserting a spacer (or spacers) between the (front) handle and strut to manipulate angle of attack? To adjust the wing handling more towards own rider style (or compensate for rider bad technique / mistakes)?

I am looking for a way to change the angle of the front handle on my North Nova (v2) to assist more in tacking. Using both the v2 and v3 of the Nova, I find the v3 is so much more easier to transition into the tack. The wing has a tendency to nose-down when pulling over the head, which is really nice. Contrast to the the v2 has a tendency to lift up in overhead transition and messing up the move. I thought that by adding a spacer in the back of the front handle of the v2 (the lifter), the angle of attack (AoA) can be manipulated, giving it more tendency to nose-down, which could aid the transition of the (v2) wing into the tack movement.

EDIT: of course I could also adjust my wrist angle depending on whether I use the v3 or v2.. but still wondering if anyone playing with front hand angles.
