If you have an angle that is greater than 90 degrees on the shot, or you need to hit the OB off angle (to get around another ball) you can use "Throw" to put the OB back on track toward the pocket. This, of course, is a more advanced playing technique you will need to practice before becomming proficient. See the next diagram for this example.
In this example the 1 is the ghost ball, the 9 the OB. This shot has the CB at 90 degrees or slightly greater to the 9. Your "aim point" is the center of the 1 or slightly (a hair) left of center).
If you hit the CB with no english the probable result will be the 9 tracking on the green line, missing slightly. If you put outside (right) english on the CB, it will impart or throw the 9 back to the left along the orange line.
Without English, you will probably scratch, with English you will end up hitting the cushion at "A"...Of course, as I mentioned this is not an easy shot.....I make it about 50%...
You can also use "Throw" to change the inevitable path of a ball frozen to the CB, in the same way...Left English will "throw" the OB Right and visa-versa...how much depends on how much English, the friction between the balls (dirty balls tend to throw more) and the table cloth's friction.
