That’s a great explanation of that shot! Thank you!

If the angle brushes against the blocker ball, you can aim a bit closer to the object ball but use draw on the cue ball, to shorten the rebound angle off the rail. Harder to predict, of course, so best to try this if the object ball is close to the pocket.

Thanks. And if the ball is closer or further from the rail, will it be in the same spot on the rail ?

NO. It's always based on the OB Contact point to the edge of the cushion, X2, then aim at that point. Rewatch the lesson again until this becomes clear to you based on what I just said. Thank you and let me know if you get this after some hard work.
