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.
Without the cushion it's a simple push shot which is legal. The grey area is it is a double - maybe multiple kiss as well as a cue tip foul. You could petition for an exception since the shot would be useful at any angle.
Eddie and Chuck are long gone by the time you two work that out. :rolleyes:

The Hustler Bank Shot Recreated with a twist

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.
I think right at the strike when the tip, balls, and rail are contiguous, there might be an oscillation or three. (?)
