When it comes to choosing a shaft, Is deflection the only factor?

There is no such thing as a no deflection shaft because of the laws of physics, low deflection means there is some deflection and like every shaft ever made you will have to account for some deflection when the cueball is struck off center, I like that I have to account for less with my Becue shaft,
so it deflects less. how much less. if you dont know you still dont know where to aim. only would a no deflection cue would allow that.

so with either shaft you have to know where to hit in your adjustment.

unless of course you just use the correct bridge length and angle. and then most times there is none to worry about.

You can strike the cue ball after the shot clock has wound down as long as you are down on your shot and you don’t get back up off your shot. At least that’s the way the WPA has been doing it for years.
Ah that makes sense - thank you. I do think that is confusing for viewers, and the commentators didn't seem to know that rule, because they were confused as well.

Very questionable refereeing in the SVB/Pham match. Pham clearly violated the shot clock, not striking the ball until after the clock ran out, and no foul was called. Luckily for Shane, it was an easy layout and he ran out anyway, but still...
