Viking has the V Pro shaft and the Vikore. The ferrule is the same material and length on both shafts. The only difference is the Vikore is cored near the end of the shaft with a lighter wood. If you are replacing wood with lighter wood, how is that really any noticeable or even meaningful reduction in deflection? Thank you for any insight.

The basic thought of lighter end mass creates less deflection.
Length and size of the lighter wood plays a role.
Some others follow the same thought using a c/f tube.
McDermott for one. Some Custom Cue makers also use the c/f tube.
Meucci has used a very light wood in the end of thier c/f shaft to help secure the ferrule.
Lower deflection compared to what, past the thought process!
Who knows
