I know hollow tubes have bigger moments of inertia than solid cylinders, assuming their masses are the same.
But which one would swing better if you used it like a sword? I'm thinking that the tube would be harder to get moving but would have more rotational momentum and thus be harder to stop.
Is this correct?
I want to know for my tabletop RPG game manual which mentions lightsabers.
