Predicting and Controlling Cue Ball Direction off a Rail with Follow Shots

FYI, I just posted a new video that demonstrates how to predict and control cue ball direction off a rail with natural-angle follow shots, and how to change these directions with speed and sidespin. Included later in the video is some head-cam POV footage to help with visualization. Check it out:

As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.

Enjoy!
Another great video, Doc. Are you feeling under the weather, your voice sounds different, maybe time to visit the Doc???😁😁 (see what I did there?)

Predicting and Controlling Cue Ball Direction off a Rail with Follow Shots

Dave,
How did you hit the shot at the .08 second mark? It's the shot where the CB bends around after it comes off the rail.

There is absolutely NO WAY I could ever get that to happen on my Gold Crown IV.

The only possible answer is that you have a defective pool table. I wonder by chance, do you also have a difficult time getting good breaks on this table? That would be another sign of a defective pool table. It would be extremely difficult to diagnose this because there has never been a defective pool table (other than a defect in workmanship) in the history of pool tables.
