Deflection seems to be caused by end mass...I've always wanted to use ivory ferrule but have tried some and am experiencing a lot of deflection...
I assume ivory is heavier than phenolic, and I'm wondering if it adds any significant amount of deflection???
Maybe it's just the shafts I've got?
Other than the obvious aesthetics, is there any benefit or reason to be using ivory for the ferrule?
I also understand that ivory is softer than most. Phenolics, and while most folks are out for that hard hit...???
I would like to hear from some folks with experience on the matter, as I'm currently having a couple cues built and need to make some decisions soon on ferrule material.
