If you do not have the basic exercises in your exercise program, you are wasting your time.

You must be able to perform the basic exercises properly before you can progress to more difficult exercises.

Results is what you are looking for. When you see fancy new equipment or people doing ridiculous exercises at the gym go about your business and do what gets results.

To perform cable flies properly do 2 things.

1. Keep your shoulder blades retracted for the duration of the movement. This means squeezed back. If you do not do this your synergist will become dominant, in this case the anterior deltoids. If you do this you not only risk injury, but you will look retarded with forward rounding shoulders.

#2 Keep your arms at the exact same bend for the duration of the motion. If you perform any arm flexion or extension you take the work away from your chest muscle fibers. You should feel every single inch of the range of motion in your chest. If you don't you should perform with no weight or very light weights until you can learn to control your muscles.

If you have protracted shoulders which is forward shoulders posture, you should probably not perform chest exercises until you correct your postural deficiency.
