Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

I just got done shooting an old school cue today with a maple shaft and its one of the best hitting cues.

Deflection could very well be a myth. If anything, a carbon shaft gives me more trouble.
Not a myth. You probably don't understand it, and you compensate for it without even noticing by force of habit.

Wood Polisher on a custom cue

I periodically apply a light coat of Renaissance Wax to my cue shafts after wiping the shafts with a damp cloth or a cloth towel moistened with rubbing alcohol. The wax really leaves a glossy smooth finish that creates a coating. It seals the wood pores opened by cleaning the shaft. It is important to apply at least 2 coats after cleaning the shaft otherwise a single coat of Renaissance wax regularly applied keeps your shafts like satin. I’ve been doing this for years with all my cues and for friends. Before Renaissance Wax, I was using Craftsman Cue Wax (Birmingham, England) but it’s hard and expensive to obtain.
