8 Ball Question??

True story...

I played one session of APA years ago without knowing what I was getting myself into.

My first game of 8-ball I was about to make the 8 and the captain screamed for a timeout and explained that I had to "mark" my very obvious pocket.

A bit confused but willing to play along, I pulled out my wallet and placed it next to the pocket. I was told that for some inexplicable reason, neither the wallet or any kind of money was allowed as a marker.

To the horror of half the players there, I replaced my wallet with the small .380 pocket pistol I was carrying and made my shot.

I didn't last long in APA... 😁

How about my drink, can I mark the $#cking pocket with my drink? If not I would use my cue case. 🤣🤣

The Hustler Bank Shot Recreated with a twist

It'd be a foul in competition, right?
Ignore the rail for a second and imagine you hit with follow when two balls are frozen; most games require a 45° downward cueing angle to avoid double-kiss.

I don't feel it would be a foul. With the upstroke, you don't double hit the cue ball. The shaft gets out of the way. I did have that slow mo close up angle. I think that shows that it isn't a double hit. Or maybe I needed to go slower.
