    Why don't Snooker players use low deflection shafts?

    I'm watching the 2021 World Seniors Snooker and I started to wonder about the shafts they are using. Everyone seems to be using the same type of ash shafts. A friend suggested that most snooker shafts have a conical taper which by nature has less deflection could be the reason why.

    Contact time of frozen cue ball to object ball

    If the cue ball is frozen to an object ball is the contact time longer then if it wasn't frozen? What about contact time if you shoot away at 45 degrees on a frozen cue ball? Does it make a difference with a red circle cue ball or Aramith Magnetic cue ball?
