Well, it's possible to have the center of mass in the hilt, but you'd have to use a counterbalance on the low end of the hilt...and I'm pretty sure that you'd not want to do that!

Besides, physically speaking, the optimum center of mass is at the place where you can generate optimum angular momentum with the average amount of torque that you can apply. That said, to have the center of mass in the hilt would negate any advantage you might have in this regard, meaning you're relying soley on the strenth of your wrists!
