Pay close attention to your 10B break. The areas on your foot rail are common areas for balls to hit during the break. My money is still on residual Aramith Ball Cleaner transferred from the balls to the rail. What do you use to clean your balls and how much ABC are you using?

I clean them by hand, just a couple of drops on each ball, two microfiber cloths-

Thanks. I'll have to give it a try.
Having the same issue with the ball hop on one out of six anniversaries at a pool haul. I recovered 8 months ago. At first I thought it might be humidity causing the rail to swell a little bit, but it's only happening on one table in one place like DJKeys table.
 
I'd say too much cleaner also. In my home made cleaner similar to Diamonds, I use two drops of Aramith cleaner diluted 20% for 8 balls. That's about 10% the amount of cleaner that you use.
Rexus has his mix of Aramith that is much more diluted than mine, but he sprays it on I think, where I put a drop on a finger and dab that on 4 balls then another drop for the other 4 balls. It would be interesting to try and figure out between Rexus's way, and mine, what way actually uses more cleaner. Not that it matters I guess as both of our ways seems to work with drastically less cleaner than how you are using it with 2 drops per ball.
I do know that before I diluted it that 20% and just used it full strength with 2 drops per 4 balls, I had to manually wipe them off with a microfiber cloth for a bit as without that they played slightly clingy.
