Deflection bug?

Hi,
I just tried the aim lines and ghost balls. And i seen a weird thing.
When i apply left english, the cue ball should go more to the right. So i should compensate by aiming with the cue ball more to the left. And here is reversed.
My shot:

Thanks

I may be wrong, but to me it looks like the guy in the video is using parallel english and you are using pivot english.
Pivot compensates for deflection.
If you go to trickshot mode and set up his exact shot, then while aiming switch between the english methods (in Settings -> Camera) you can see the difference.

Maybe a bit off topic but the instructor in the movie in that post of the topic-starter is talking about a Preditor 314 shaft that takes away deflection.
Never thought that a shaft can make such a difference. How did they do that?

The shaft i use in VP4 is like a predator shaft. When when you apply left spin, the cue ball should always go right side a little bit. Here this is reversed. Left goes left and right goes right.

Okay, but I wonder how it works... How can a certain shaft make the ball traveling with lesser deflection?

In your shot you are jacked up over the 4 ball, plus shooting rather soft. The curve to the left is the masse effect. The more
force u apply to the shot the less masse and the more deflection you will see.
