Changing direction is one thing. I'm talking about tunnel vision in general. They don't have tunnel vision, otherwise they wouldn't use those lightning charged for the same reason Kakashi wasn't able to after he lost the Sharingan.

Also, I don't think the Third "went flying with the rubber ball." The rubber ball was his goal, so he went after it. He didn't exactly just get thrown along with it. And Third has been shown to change direction quite well. When he broke through the Earthen walls, he quickly went between enemies, taking them down left and right. That accounts for change in direction. ANd he did it, as Naruto said, in an instant. While we know it wasn't actually just in an instance, that means he's very fast, and very good at moving between targets.
