Help with ferrule material

[Jimmy_Betmore]

Do you know what the difference in feel is between abs and pvc? I have a cue that I think has an abs ferrule, it is soft but it also plays kind of dead, not a lot of "feel" on a shot

I'd say that, typically, they're similar enough to basically be interchangeable. The wild card, though, is that ABS and PVC can vary in density, hardness, etc. I pulled the table below from a plastics supplier's website. And don't pay any attention to the highlighted part. It's like that on the site for some reason.
