The Difference Between Solid and Hollow Cue Shafts
A solid shaft is made from a single piece of wood or composite material and offers stability, durability, and a classic feel during play. The wood's grain runs the entire length of the shaft, providing a consistent hit with minimal flex. Hollow shafts, on the other hand, are often lighter, with a hollow core that allows for a different balance and feel. Some advanced players prefer hollow shafts for their lighter weight and responsiveness, while others appreciate the solid feel and traditional balance of solid shafts. Choosing between them depends on your playing style and preference for weight and feedback.
