Do any LD shafts hit like normal shafts?

Incorrect. The regular OB1 and OB2 have a hole that goes all the way through the shaft, from the ferrule all the way to the joint. This hole is filled with some rubbery material, except I believe for the last 5-6" or so. The Classics have a hole that extends from the ferrule to about 5-6" back, and the remainder of the shaft is solid. Thought you should know

I've tried 314-2, ob classic pro, ob classic as well. My vote is for Bob's ss360. Solid hit, good feedback, and reasonably priced.
One thing I'll add about the SS360 is if you need to swerve the CB a bit to get out of a safety (rail/jump not an option), it's doable and something you can work on to improve judgement. With the OB and Pred it was a real challenge for me to the point where I said don't even think about it.
If you want to see his work, click on the link in my signature. It's a 30" shaft with ringwork matched on my SW.

KMRUNOUT is correct.
The OB-1 and OB-2 are both drilled through the entire length of the shaft from joint to tip. They have foam in the first 5 inches and silicone rubber in the last 24 inches.
The OB Classic and OB Pro are both drilled in the first 5 inches just like the OB-1 and OB-2 and both have foam in the front. However, the last 24 inches on both shafts back to the joint are solid maple. This is one of the main reasons that many people perceive the Classic and Pro to hit firmer (along with the fact that they have conventional ferrules as opposed to our softer laminated wooden ferrules that are one the OB-1 and OB-2)
Hope this helps.
I second that! They are NOT hollow shafts and have very low deflection.
There is a hole. Talk to Royce.
EDIT: Actually, please see Shane's post a few posts back.
