Does a low deflection shaft matter if your using BHE?

If a shaft has deflection it's going to deflect no matter what spin you are going to put on the ball.
The amount of deflection a shaft has is extremely important to how BHE works. If you want to understand that kind of aiming compensation, this should help: https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/sidespin/bhe-fhe/
Yes, backhand English depends on bridging (pivoting) very near the cue's "pivot point", which is most likely with a low deflection shaft.

Plus, potentially, corrections for the cloth, distance, speed, stick elevation, and amount of draw/follow. There are some who believe in BHE who think those factors are not relevant.
