check the position of the headspot and double check that your triangle is not placed in an angle..
I had that problem too.
I had tapped balls, i did it myself and didnt do it 100% right. The headspot was one inch to high. i was making wingballs 20% of the time. After the divets where gone and i had to retap the table i retapped the table VERY precisly. now i'm making the wingball 80% of the time. the other 10% i miss is from gaps in the rack, and the last 10% is from a incorrect breakstroke.

As others have said, the rack probably isn't tight. You have to have it much tighter than you will be able to get it on most tables. No gaps. Try training the table as they do in Europe or as you had to do it for the older Sardo racks.7footmonster said:
Or, just live with the loose racks you presently have to deal with. Don't expect to be able to make the wing ball, though. Joe Tucker may help, but if the wrong balls are loose, the wing ball can't go in. And if the rack is inconsistent, every break will be different.
Always check the rack. If you break from the rail and hit the 1 ball square and if these red balls are frozen, the green ball should go. The speed of the break is key and its different on different tables but Ive found that it will go with a softer break.
