Maybe they will try Zebra striped cloth soon, I heard it helps keep the flies confused.

Seoa was playing very well but it looks like Sofia sorta gave up that last rack.

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.
