Draw an imaginary line between the centre of the head ball in the rack, and the centre of one of the middle balls in the fourth row of the rack (the row with 4 balls). Now place the cue ball on the headstring, and on the same imaginary line..So now you have the cue ball, head ball, and a middle ball from 4th row, all in 1 straight line..... That is the path I always use..centre cueball hit or maybe just a lil below centre....Always works great for me...
