I have heard that low deflection shafts are more hype than fact.
I'm not talking about cueball deflection but shaft deflection.
Can a multilayerd shaft with an 11 mm tip have less deflection than a fine grained maple shaft with a 13 mm tip?
Also, if the shaft deflects, what is the consequence of this deflection on the cueball? More squirt? What are the benifits of a so called low deflection shaft that would want me to spend $200 plus for it?
I've heard pros and cons from some excellent cue builders and still don't have an answer hat settles the question for me.
Thoughts?
