its like using physics to explain how to walk. or arguing how to explain walking to someone,

its chemistry
, the chemistry of your brain
when you learn through experimentation and repetition, then that's when you know just how to do it.
and can do it without making costly mistakes.

Let’s not forget that Alison Fisher and Earl Strickland were the best players in the world using the old Cuetec cues (which were not very good).

That said, other than Filler, I can’t think of any top pro that is using CF that seems to have been pressured to use it. I mean they are getting paid to use them but I don’t get the sense that they’d rather use wood.

You shouldn't be looking at what those types of players are playing with. Bangers will be bangers. You should look at what the top players are playing with. The modern stroke and style lends itself to low deflection. Holding the back of the cue, bridging farther back, these are indicators of where the pivot point sits on their shafts and cues.

I don't think you'll see any modern top player that is using old style high deflection shafts. An argument could be made for using wood ld shafts, but there is really no benefit to them over cf except feel and most of those are going to feel deader than the cf because of how ld is achieved.
