Understanding Cue Ball Deflection | Billiard / Pool

his "high deflection" cue is a brunswick centennial I'm sure it squirts like a motherfucker. anyway you've got action tubby

his stroke is horrible and squirly. he also moves his stroke to the side at the last moment before contact with the " high deflection" shaft. I love my predator but you're a...

Fraudulent

this movie sucks I am pro and i can assure thet I can make any kind of spin with anu kind of shaft, all I need is normal tip and chalk

so true

This is a sad excuse of an advertisement. Does he really think that he is fooling us? As others have pointed out here he manipulates each shot to exaggerate the bad results and he does compensate and shoots harder with his Ron Popeil shaft hit the object ball.

your opinion sucks

The fact that a great player using a bar cuecan beat a bad or average player using the best cue is not relevant.If you are really serious about pool and you invest 2000 hours playing/practicing with a lower deflecting shaft.Your brain will have more accurate feed back to eliminate mistakes.

The technique I find working for me best is to actually aim center ball and move my arm to the right if I want to apply left spin and move my arm to the left to apply right spin. For longer shots I use a little bit of both parallel and "backhand" english and probably some adjustment. And I don't use predator shaft. So, I guess what I am trying to say is it all comes down to practice. As they say shoot one shot 1000 times and you'll know how to shoot it when it comes up in a game of pool.

This is an amateur video, and I have no idea what this guy is trying to do. I am an amateur player, but I can tell the difference between "parallel english", used in this video when shooting with high deflection shaft and conventional shaft, and a combination of parallel english and backhand english, used when shooting with the predator shaft. So to get to the point, no matter which shaft u use if you use only parallel english you will get more deflection, than if you use a combination of both.
