If a fireball is shot with bow and arrow, it will not rebounce in the direction it gets hit but rather the direction the player is facing.

Summon a fireball

/summon fireball ~ ~1 ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0],ExplosionPower:0}

Stand fair way away from it (~15 blocks)
Shoot an arrow at it, then, before the arrow hits the fireball, quickly look in another direction
→ The fireball will fly in the direction you looked rather than the one you shot the arrow
