Ok, but for some weird reason you seem to be waffling on the core question, and you are usually very opinionated and precise on such things. I'm not calling it anything I want, inventing any new pool variables or arguing that the players brain isn't where this is all calculated (where else would it be?). I'm simply exploring the OP's question about JJ's statement about a low deflection stroke - at direct face value.
I understand the core question to be - can a player have a stroke that essentially negates (or reduces) deflection when using side spin? In other words, can one player pick up a high deflection (say non LD traditional maple) shaft and get negligible deflection out it when loading the CB up with lots of side spin, where another will see a good bit of deflection - when shooting the same exact shot with the same exact equipment?
I ask this very specifically, since there is another recent thread where the OP was mentioning essentially the same exact thing. A cue maker had advised him that experienced players have a "push through" element to their stroke that negates deflection, and demonstrated it by doing the well known deflection test shot - but getting little to no deflection out of the CB (ie hitting where aimed when loading CB up with max side spin), whereas when when the OP shot the same test shot with the same cue he was getting 1/2-3/4 balls worth of deflection.
I've wondered about this for a while, and posted my own experience with the issue in this
post in that other thread. No one responded to that, and this thread here seems to perhaps be a better place to discuss it.
Cheers
