Deflection
“Deflection” or
“Squirt”?
Which is it?
"Cue ball deflection" is the phenomenon
that occurs when the cue shaft contacts the cue ball left or right of
center ("English"). Instead of traveling along the center line of the
cue stick, the cue ball will travel down the table at an angle to the
line on which the cue is pointing.
When using side english, "Cue ball deflection" must be compensated for
in your aim. The more you have to compensate, the more likely you are
to miss. Since side english is often necessary to play position on the
next ball, "Cue ball deflection" is something we all have to deal with.
"Cue ball deflection" is a result of the weight difference between the
tip end of the cue shaft and the cue ball. Obviously, we can't change
the weight of the cue ball, so we focused on the tip end of the cue
shaft. By reducing the weight of the tip end of the cue shaft, we have
reduced "cue ball deflection". The OB Cue Shafts test comparable to all
other low squirt or low cue ball deflection shafts on the market.
Combine low "cue ball deflection" with the other benefits of the OB Cue
Shafts, and you have the best shaft on the market.
