I am referring to the aggressive tendency of the cue ball to move forward. The fact that the cue ball continues forward even after a direct hit. Whatever you want to call that force. It is technically not English which is reserved for side spin. The cue ball has rotational persistence to continue in the same direction. Force follow does not imply English.

i understand what you are saying now
if you cant make the cue ball do that either you are not hitting high enough (use a stripe so the stripe is parallel to the table bed) and see where you chalk mark
if its not very close to the top line of the stripe you have more "top " to hit before miscueing.
if it is then you are not accelerating thru the ball enough
last and this could be voodoo but i find if i angle my cue upwards alittle it helps me get force follow
good luck with your journey
