Is PH a particularly dense wood or tight grain? Why is it preferred for the shaft? How does it feel compared to other popular shafts?
I'm also not a big fan of PH. I just hate the way it looks, but I'm a practical man who would rather use what works best and let looks come in second place.
PH is a dense and stable wood. It does not have a particularly tight grain
such as maple. However, the grain structure is such as that it springs the
cue ball off of it. Something like a diver off a spring board or a baseball off an aluminum bat.
