I've been missing these shots bad. I'm normally a good shot, but have apparent trouble with these. Anyone else? Is it a perception thing? I'm going to shoot a hundred of them to try and remedy, but curious if anyone else has issues

Since you specified to the right, I'll assume you don't have much trouble with one to the left. If that is so, it's probably your vision center is not centered. Missing balls to one side is a large factor in not really seeing the balls in a straight line.

It can also be the amount of english you are using. The throw can be different from side to side.
 
I agree with Neil. Your stroke thru the cue ball and the playing conditions drastically affect that type of shot. The best advice I ever gave to anyone on that shot was to take the time to walk down the table and look at the angle to help your mind work with your hand and eyes. Sounds to easy right?
You would be amazed at the number of shooters that will rattle the ball due to the rotation of the object ball when it hits the pocket corner. The dirtier the balls and cloth including the amount of chalk on the rail cloth and pocket facing can really tighten the pocket up. Never get in a hurry or take a shot for granted. Have fun , shoot well.:smile:
