100% Correct on that. If the object ball is further away from the rack the spin has more time to take and the cueball path starts curving (forward or back from the tangent line) which makes it harder to determine exactly where the contact point is...on a good note, when further from the rack the path of the cueball makes it less likely to scratch.Breakball distance from rack & CB ball condition also relevant. Getting stuck to the pack can be nearly as bad as scratching. A dozen things to consider before deciding how to proceed.
Upon reflection, likely a rare scenario:….Getting stuck to the pack can be nearly as bad as scratching.…
More mental masturbation:Not to mention that a sharp cut ball very close to the pack sometimes gets beat to the pocket by an interfering OB.
What does the right do?Me, too. Ray Martin often played this shot that way.
It allows you to aim for a slight undercut, which slightly modifies the attack angle in a desirable way, making it easier to draw toward the center of the table.What does the right do?

It's approximately a half ball hit on this shot which means throw effect is negligible.
Isn’t a half ball hit with stun THE most affected by throw?
