The original Trix had the stored air right behind the bolt/spindle. A little in/out movement around the top hat then straight down the bolt through the venturi, a real nice path. But they wanted the bolt smaller.
Now the air has to make a right turn through those holes on the edges and another right turn to go down the bolt.
Now it's just pressure behind the ball, no direction, and direction is the one thing Trix had, don't kid yourself, Mag has it too, the Air is behind the ball. It's not that "Quality alway shoots straight" it's that straighter air shoots straight.

...maybe you've replaced the bolt, take the old bolt and block part of it off some how, one side. Shoot it and you'll get more wingers, some - even most - straight but more wingers. Also the Angels had the venturi bolts.
Aftermarket bolts had the larger holes in the middle and advertised increased shot speed. BUT the shots tailed off more to the right. Without the venturis it didn't straighten the air as much.
Anyway that's my opinion, though it conflicts with the popular thought of "it's all barrel to paint match"

BUT even blowing through a straw will tell you that 2 feet in front of the straw- or as long as the presure is there, it has direction.
So why would a paintball not feel direction. Baseballs do, tennis balls have a lot of movement from spin, what?paintballs defy physics and the direction of the force used on them is unimportant.
Just remember you heard it here first. .
