I haven't tried any LD shaft except for predators and I don't like them because of the hollow hit. I was wondering if there are any LD shafts out there that hit solid like a normal shaft and if so how do they deflect compared to predators? Thanks in advance.
Do any LD shafts hit like normal shafts?

Yes...
I designed one for that specific reason. It is not yet commercially available though. Obcues makes the ob classic, which doesn't have the hollow hit either.

Jacoby Edge Hybrid Shaft
I know a few that I have played with, cheapest by far is the Players HXT shaft. Mike Webb has one that hits great, the Pechauer one has a solid hit althought it's made up of several parts. https://www.pechauer.com/low-deflection-shafts/low-deflection-shaft.
Second that, I also like OB1- but it has soft hit.
OB classic is really stiff and deflected a lot to the point I could not play with it, dont know why
The hollow hit is the cost of admission for using an LD shaft.... You get used to it.
Steve Klapp's old maple shafts are pretty low in deflection, but are solid maple.
Have heard great things about the SS360 shafts made by Bob Danielson (bdcues). Have not ordered one yet, as a friend just sent me a new shaft to try, but great reviews.

Chrippa let me try a Lambros LD yesterday. Big difference between Lambros and Predator, Lambros feels so solid. The lambros was close to the Mezz WD700 and Hybrid pro in feel, of course a very subjective feel thus opinion.
Tiger is well known for a preserved "hit" with LD properties. The X-LD is what you are looking for. PM me if you wish to purchase one.
Yes, ours. Solid hit, lots of feedback and made to order for less than mass produced ones. Here is a part of the last customer feedback we received -
"I'm thoroughly impressed by the shaft you made.
It's really spectacular. Love the thing.
This is the first time I've been able to play an LD shaft and pretend it's a solid maple shaft until it's time for those LD shots. I started playing pool in the 80s and got very used to solid maple shafts so it's been a heck of a journey shifting over to LD. This is the first time I can see that happen."

Ss360
the SS360 is one of the best LD shafts out there , i tried almost every LD shaft out there and nothing comes even close to the playability of the SS360 .

Pechauer Pro
Great shaft . Solid and firm hit.I have the Pro which has is 12.75.They also have a Pro lite at 11.75. Well priced at less than $200 from Cheapcues.:

We make shafts from 13.25mm down to 11.00mm. It is possible to make them 10.00mm with a different taper. Shaft lengths to 31.5". Shafts can be ordered with any joint diameter, most joint pin sizes and ferrule lengths can be specified along with ferrule material. Matching joint collars are standard and for an extra charge we match trim rings. Standard tip is the Kamui with 12 options for these. Other tips are not a problem either.
