Help needed with curving

So, Whenever i try to curve the ball, It offsets from the target humanoidrootpart. This is rather annoying since the target wont be able to parry if the ball if offset beyond their parrying range.
Could anyone help me with this?

local function startFollowing()
	local startTime = tick()
	runs.Heartbeat:Connect(function(delta)
		if targetCharacter then
			local targetHRP = targetCharacter:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			local currentPosition = ball.Position
			local direction = (targetHRP.Position - currentPosition).unit
			local speed = initialSpeed + (acceleration * accelerationMultiplier) * (tick() - startTime)

			local newDirection = (direction + playerCameraDirection).unit

			pcall(function()
				targetCharacter:FindFirstChild("SelectedPlrHighlight").Enabled = true
			end)

			local newPosition = currentPosition + newDirection * speed

			if newPosition.Y < minY then
				newPosition = Vector3.new(newPosition.X, minY, newPosition.Z)
			end

			ts:Create(ball, TweenInfo.new(delta, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut), { Position = newPosition }):Play()
		end
	end)
end
