Settle a deflection argument

[LAMas]

I use a Predator Z2 and have a Mcdermott with standard shaft also, using the z2 its much easier to draw or follow it requires less effort. If using left or right english requires less deflection in aiming the cue why wouldn't it also cause more draw or follow than a standard shaft. The LD shafts will generate more spin with less effort whether its top, draw, left or right, I think the key here is LESS EFFORT.

I also like the feel of the Z2's smaller shaft diameter.

Easier to aim a thin shaft than a thick one for me as well.

Unwanted English

The Z2 has a 11.75 tip and does impart english when I don't want to at times, Thats my strokes fault and the fact its easier to be a little off center using a smaller tip and having 44yr old eyes. But its alot of fun to draw a ball from a straight in corner shot two rails to the opposite end diagonal corner pocket its fun, though impractical in tourneys. Hit with one have fun with it, get creative. Heck do it with the lights on once in awhile. Throw in the human element and there are no absolutes, Keith(Jamaal) Wilkes had an unorthodox jumper but made to the NBA, Ray Allen has a beautiful stroke was hot one night and couldn't buy one the next. Humans go figure!!!

I'm not sure I understand. The amount of spin imparted to the cue ball is determined by where the tip hits the cueball, reletive to the angle the cue is coming from, as well as stroke speed. How much less effort does it take? What kind of effort? Do you not need to generate as much speed? I'm really confused about the use of the term "less effort"
