This mind-fucking game.

Well, deflection is interesting, too, because some people use it to their advantage, certain deflection, like Coe, because his cue has a lot of deflection.

Didn't you say you hit some balls with it?

I think it just gets it in their head how to play, and then they've been playing that way for so long that it's just automatic.

Like, if they hit a ball with heavy left-hand English, they know it's going to go off to the right.

Right.

So they hit it more full with heavy left-hand English because they know by the time the cue ball gets there, it's... So they...

they have it in their head.

You know, it's just like a little computer in your brain.

It's like, okay, this distance, I gotta aim here.

This distance, I'm gonna aim here.

So the argument against that would be the difference with wood is, though, you get a superior feel.

You do get a weird difference in the feedback of the cue.

And some people get very accustomed to that wood feedback.

And they describe a carbon feedback as more dull.

Yeah, it is.

You don't get the same sensations.

So I think those guys, the feedback in their hand is a part of the equation in their mind of where that ball's gonna go.

It's just a different feel.

Like they all have a different feel, right?
