Deflection Question

Watching the old Mcreery video someone mention in another thread, the shot at 10:30 got me wondering -- how much 'deflection' are we seeing in this shot?

I suppose I ask from the perspective of a guy who has read all the high deflection, low deflection threads in the main pool forum and doesn't really care all that much to join in. I have my Kilby cues and am over-the-moon happy with them; I'm not chasing the dragon for new equipment.

I'm mostly just curious to understand how what I see in that shot lines up with my layman's understanding of the principles. I would guess ... it's a very ... low? ... deflection cue?

Am I getting that right?

If you are talking about the very short natural, I think it is not possible to tell from the camera angle and the shot how much squirt Merckx' shaft has. It is probably a relatively low-squirt shaft due to a relatively small tip and a short ferrule.
