Hydex® 202 Low Deflection Cue Ferrule Material – .562" Diameter, 12" Length
Hydex® 202 is a high-performance polyurethane ferrule material trusted by professional cue makers and repair technicians. Known for its lightweight, low-deflection performance, it delivers the durability, consistency, and machining precision needed for top-tier cue building and repair.
Why Choose Hydex® 202 for Cue Ferrules
Hydex® 202 combines exceptional strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability—making it an excellent choice for building or replacing pool cue ferrules. Its lightweight composition helps reduce mass at the front of the cue, improving accuracy and control.
Low Deflection Performance Benefits
Yes, Hydex® 202 is known for being lightweight, which is a highly desirable characteristic for low deflection ferrules. A lighter ferrule helps minimize deflection (or "squirt") of the cue ball, resulting in more accurate shots—especially when applying english (side spin).
Why a lightweight ferrule is beneficial for low deflection:
-
Reduced Mass: Less weight at the front of the cue means less of the cue ball's energy is diverted into sideways movement on off-center hits.
-
Improved Accuracy: Helps maintain true aim and control on spin shots.
Precision Machining and Durability
-
Easy to Machine: Cuts cleanly on cue lathes, polishes to a slick finish, and holds tight tolerances.
-
Long-Lasting: High impact resistance prevents cracking, chipping, or deformation.
-
Stable Performance: Dimensional stability ensures consistent hit feedback over time.
-
Chemical Resistant: Protects against cue chalk, cleaning agents, and environmental wear.
