Do Low Deflection Shafts Help Advanced Beginners in Pool?

Hey, I’m J C! Welcome to Missed Again, the pool channel for advanced beginners stuck in the “awkward middle” of the game. This isn’t about perfect play. It’s about my honest struggles, frustrating misses, and the small breakthroughs that make a big difference. I explore why I miss, what I’m learning, and how I’m working through it, so you can, too. Today, we’re exploring low deflection shafts and asking the question: Are they really helpful for beginners and advanced beginners? In this video, I’ll be testing three different shafts: Traditional Maple Shaft – A McDermott maple wood shaft with a medium tip. JFlowers Classic Carbon Fibre Shaft – The standard low deflection CF shaft that comes with most JFlowers cues. JFlowers SMO Shaft – Currently one of the lowest deflection shafts on the market. Special thanks to JFlowers for providing the SMO as part of my sponsored ambassador package. Before comparing, I’ll briefly explain what a low-deflection shaft does. 👉 When you hit the cue ball in the centre, it travels straight. 👉 But with sidespin, the ball is pushed slightly off line — this is called deflection (or squirt). 👉 For example: applying right English makes the cue ball squirt slightly left, and left English makes it squirt slightly right. A low-deflection shaft is designed to reduce this effect. Manufacturers achieve this by reducing the front-end mass of the shaft and making the tip end lighter. Traditional maple shafts generally produce higher deflection. Carbon fibre shafts, on the other hand, are widely considered low-deflection by design. Watch the video to see how these shafts perform and whether investing in a low-deflection shaft makes sense at the beginner or advanced beginner stage.
