Predicting and Controlling Cue Ball Direction off a Rail with Follow Shots

[dr_dave]

Yes, I just set up this shot. All my CB did was go straight over to the rail. No bending or curving like I expected.

When I hit the CB high about as hard as I am physically capable of hitting it there was a very slight bend. Probably about 1/4 of what I am seeing on this video.

It just convinces me even more that this GCIV has some kind of issue that prevents it from playing like it should.

Try to wax the CB to see if that makes a difference. As I mentioned, the cloth in my cushions is very new, so that could have something to do with it (but I doubt it). Also, if you post a video of the shot (maybe with unwaxed and waxed CBs), that might shed some light on things.
