Without side spin, you need to aim about a quarter-inch up the rail, depending on the speed of the shot. It's at least as far with inside.

Bob, I've read some of your other posts and was hoping you could answer this.

I have trouble making the same shot, except the cueball is froze to the rail and the object ball is 1-2" off the rail. Since the cueball is froze to the rail, I have to shoot it with follow...I usually shoot if soft/medium speed. I *always* overcut this if I aim where I think I'm supposed to. Is this because all the follow is throwing the object ball?

No, top spin doesn't affect the cue ball and object ball contact point, only side spin causes curvature. The trouble is shooting off the rail is difficult for any shot unless it is straighter down the rail. You just need to practice those shots more. They're not easy for anyone.
