Tell us you don’t play much straight pool without telling us you don’t play much straight pool.

Been there, done that.

There are two ways you can consistently make the one in the side. The first is you aim about 1/3rd of the one ball and stun at about 18mph,

The second is to aim about 1/5 of the ball and hit as hard as you can with draw. This will usually make the wing ball as well as the one in the side and sometimes one or two other balls but it's about as difficult as the 10 ball break because you have to be accurate as well as fast.

While my eyes are on the contact point, my focus is on the path through to completion.
Shaun Murphy is a poster example for form and stillness at completion.

When I am focused, the cueball strike to the object ball is so clear that I see the rotation of the object ball and any indication of a bad contact .
Seeing the collision still leaves my eyes following the cueball. The sound of ball in pocket is sometimes a pleasant surprise.
