You don't want to make a shift knob lighter... that's not an area that I would shave weight from. A lighter shift knob will carry with each movement less kinetic energy / momentum, making it harder to engage the next gear and utilizing more input from the driver. A heavier gear knob will cause the shifter to "fall in place" easier which will give you smoother gear changes with less effort from the driver.
