I think you might have a fundamental misunderstanding that's confusing
you. In an earlier thread you said things that sound like you don't
really understand the meaning of "curve". It was as if you think any
change in direction, like a ball rebounding off a rail, is a curve. I
probably have this wrong, but thought I'd give it a try in case it
might help.

Lets go back to the bank shot.

Hold on a sec, Bambu, this is important. Maybe we are just belaboring the
obvious but it's very, very important that this gets cleared up before
continuing. Please read Ron's question above again. We need to come to a
very clear understanding of the definition of "curve", just to make sure we
are all on the same page.

Now, I've been assuming that "curve" means a ball that does not travel in a
straight line, rather travels along a curved path. For the moment we
ignoring any causes that would make a ball curve, we are only trying to
define what is a curving ball and what it isn't.

Is that your definition of "curve", or are you using curve to mean something
more or different?
