You are right in that the balance is opposite of some other bags. I had to think about it for a bit but I do remember there being an adjustment period when I first got the bag. You just have to switch your hand when you walk. For a bag that “falls” forward with its balance you need to hold it underhand so that the weight is pressing down into the palm of your hand. With this bag you need to hold it overhand so that as it tries to stand back up it is pressing into the palm of your hand the other way. It’s the same, just opposite. I can see how trying to hold it underhand like other bags would cause issues. I’ve dragged it countless miles through airports and haven’t thought about it in years so it’s just something you get used to.
