Thanks for the follow-up. Actually, much better. Here's what I found out:
My club uses plastic hard-racks (even though I bought new Diamond racks for them - go figure) and when they're racked "tightly" - they're really not. There are two small gaps in the back row.
When I really focused and took the time to make sure all of the balls were tight, wow-- what a difference. I received the action I was looking for. I think I may have been hitting the corner ball a little too thin as well, so Don's post helped me as well.
This is definitely my favorite forum on AZ, without a doubt. If you ever come through Central PA, let me know. My club is almost exclusively straight pool players - we'd love to have you come in sometime to run-over us and give us a clinic.
Thanks for the follow-up!
