Do I just call the ball and pocket or do I have to call how it gets there?

Thank you. It was a little vague on that in the rules. I still have a little of the old school bar rules in me. “Off the rail off the 2.”
You may want to read through the official rules at least once. It will put you far ahead of most of your competition. Here they are:

Yes but keep in mind if you call the 10 in the corner pocket and you miss and it goes 4 rails into the called pocket it still counts.
Ball/pocket no matter how it gets there.

You make a lot of sense. I’ll have to again for sure. Initially only browsed through breaks, points, and the frozen rule. It’s going to be hard playing if one doesn’t know where to spot the balls. Thank you for the help.

The trick is to act like that's what you meant to do.I’ve missed a ball so bad that I did get the 4 rail bonus a few times in my life.
You might want to printout a copy of the ball spotting graph from the rulebook, and keep it in your cue case.
