So let me get this straight, you cue to CB a slight bit to the inside.......OK, got it.:thumbup:

Yes, It is commonly called TOI (pronounced toy). I referred to it in a response to another thread only I used the word "squirt" to describe the effect. I like the word "squirt" for several reasons.
The biggest problem our OP is having will not be overcome with a touch if inside, nor outside, for that matter, but through diligent practice and play. He is simply not a very good pool player. :smile:

If you have programmed your subconscious muscle memory to apply outside English on all cuts shots, which is very common, then it's likely you are still applying English even though your desire is to apply center ball.

I feel too many players want to improve their game from the armchair.

You got a problem hitting center ball?
...shoot dead in shots center ball till you own them.....
...it's important to shoot them at different speeds ...you might think you got it at one
speed but you may have adjusted your aim to compensate....
....a different speed will show the flaw.

I've always been a bit near-sighted and I got a lazy left eye....
....and if I do the work, I can hit center ball...
...it doesn't have to look right....you got to FEEL center ball.

I know exactly why you are missing balls. There is no pocket where the object ball contacts the rail.
