I've seen this happen with the new LD shafts ALLOT, but never saw this ''at all'' in the pros, until the LD shafts came into being. I'm not saying they are bad or good, but it happens and NEVER did with maple.
This happening for beginning players is a normal occurrence, especially when your starting to draw the ball more than 2- 3 feet. We've all done it, it's part of learning.
A slightly off center hit (draw) of cue ball on even a slow speed hit, causing the shaft to dig under the cue ball causing a jump/miss, happened 3 times during the last few WPBA matches. Also, I saw this allot at the last US Open mens event in VA 2017.
It makes sense, but it also tells me chalking up, tip preparation and all the other basics must be ''more perfect'' with LD shafts to avoid this. Maple tho does bend somewhat, eliminating this type of slow speed miscue.
I haven't done this type of miscue ''at slow speeds'' since I first learned how to play. It seems to come outta ''nowhere'' when a pro does it, but it's actually from them not being 100% ''in the moment''.
