Should I switch to a low deflection shaft?
There is no such thing as a no-deflection shaft, but the low-deflection shafts certainly make a real and useful difference. To the extent the shaft can happily bend off the side of the cueball, the ball squirts less. That doesn’t mean a whippy shaft is appropriate.
What makes a low deflection shaft?
A low-deflection (LD) shaft has less “endmass“ than a regular shaft. As a result, it creates less “cue ball deflection” or squirt, so the CB heads closer to the line of aim when hitting off-center to impart sidespin. LD or low-squirt shafts have both advantages and disadvantages for different players.
