Cue ball deflection is the difference between where a player intends the cue ball to go compared to where it actually went when the cue ball is shot. The spin put on the cue ball, called English, is caused by striking the cue ball off center, either by accident or intentionally. The majority of shots are missed when English is used because the cue ball rarely goes where the player intended; players do not know how to properly adjust for deflection caused.
Placing English on a cue ball is an important component to the game of billiards. Using spin will help players in positioning and ball placement, which helps to improve his or her game. Practicing to compensate for cue ball deflection is important, but there are extra tools that are available to assist as well.
Factors that play a role in the amount of cue ball deflection include the cue used, the cue tip placement and the speed of the stroke. Some cues are designed to improve accuracy and reduce the amount of cue ball deflection. Predator Pool Cues can improve accuracy by as much as 51 percent over conventional cues, depending on which Predator shaft makes up the cue. A Predator 3142 cue improves accuracy by about 35 percent over conventional cues and is great for players that want to adjust their shot, yet also want to have a good idea where the object ball will land. With the 3142 shaft, the ball goes where it is aimed to go.
If cue ball deflection seems to be hurting your billiards game, give a Predator pool cue a try. It might be just what you are looking for!
