It will feel different -- more head heavy -- than if it had the usual 50g grip. But it will react just the same if you put the same swing on it. (The same thing cannot be said of changing the swingweight by changing length, head weight, or shaft weight; they will affect both feel and dynamics.)
Quite a few golfers like the feel. OTOH, that was what the big butt shafts do for you, and they are now pretty much history. For whatever reason, there wasn't enough market to make them worth manufacturing and stocking. Hope this helps.
