Yeah, you guys are absolutely right about using a slight masse to avoid the side pocket scratch. Unfortunately, my local cue mechanic had just taken my cue for a new tip and I was using a back up cue with a harder tip than what I am used too. That was exactly what I tried to do, but I didn't get a good hit and it cost me a ball, which my opponent made and swung the cue ball around the table for the 14 ball next, and then banked the 7 (which I had moved) which hung in his pocket. I scratched again trying to take out his game ball and he promptly buried the ensuing spot shot. nite nite lol.
About an hour later my tip guy came back with a new tip on my own cue and it hits soooooo good -- but a little too late to help
