Improve projectile items (Bowling Balls, Sun) in 150cc

I feel the projectile kind of items are very slow in 150cc, very skilled players are usually able to outpace the homing Bowling Ball for a good while in some scenarios. The regular one is even worse due to most of the time jittering thanks to latency.
Adding to this, I noticed most of the time they take the alternate paths instead of the main one, could you change it so it takes the main/shortest path unless the player it’s aimed at is in an alternate path? Like in any other game.
