Nope...it has to do with length. If a short shaft and a long shaft are both spinning at the same high rpms...the shorter one will be "wobbling" less.

I found this neat read...pretty informative.

Again - I want to say I'm sure there's a reason some aftermarket builders use solid shafts...I've just never spent any time to look up why.
