“Deflection” or “Squirt”?
Which is it?

"Cue ball deflection" is the phenomenon that occurs when the cue shaft contacts the cue ball left or right of center ("English"). Instead of traveling along the center line of the cue stick, the cue ball will travel down the table at an angle to the line on which the cue is pointing.

When using side english, "Cue ball deflection" must be compensated for in your aim. The more you have to compensate, the more likely you are to miss. Since side english is often necessary to play position on the next ball, "Cue ball deflection" is something we all have to deal with.

"Cue ball deflection" is affected by the weight difference between the tip end of the cue and the cue ball. Obviously, we can't change the weight of the cue ball, so we focused on the tip end of the shaft. By reducing the weight of the tip end of the shaft, we have reduced "Cue ball deflection". The OB-1 tests virtually equivalent to the lowest deflection conventional taper shaft on the market.

Combine low "Cue ball deflection" with the other benefits of the OB-1, and you have the best shaft on the market.
