Looks like it's more or less straight into/out from the cushion - the angle from the CB is steep enough that follow wouldn't have a large effect by itself.

Not sure we're on the same page here. Are you talking about the diagrammed shot? I'm talking about the straighter shot Dq admits to in posts 4&5. Either way, yes, the CB will, basically be coming off the rail at 90 degrees approximate.

In both cases, follow has the same characteristics, it's just that the straighter the shot the less distance before the curve. That should be obvious.
Side English has largely (but not completely) no affect until contacting a 2nd rail. Follow is the driving force here, side can only detract from that and increase distance before the curve.

Siming Chen getting swept (in sets) was somewhat surprising to me.

savannah had some bad misses, but chezka was in her top speed. noone can beat her when she's like that. it's marvelous to see

I think that's accurate. "Sponsor obligation." Fedor is sponsored by the APA.

Years later lost my Schrager cue. My car was stolen with the cue/case

Lost a converted house cue at a little bar/poolroom in Richmond, IN. I was maybe 20 and still new to this life. They had a .25 and .50 Ring game every day and I was killing it. The local guys took a dislike to me and when I went to the bathroom I left my cue on the table. When I came back it was gone. Must have been a dozen guys sitting around and no one saw anything! That cue never came back.

Years later I lost my Schrager cue. My car was stolen with the cue in the back seat. The car was recovered, the cue was gone never to return.

Also had my first Gina stolen out of my poolroom in Bakersfield. It had my name in the butt. Someone found that cue like 30 years later in a pawnshop. It was badly warped, basically unusable. He offered to give it to me and I told him to keep it.
