Good Hit?

Stepping through the frames, there is one where the cue ball is about the same distance from the rail as the 4 ball. In that frame, it looks to me like the 4 has not moved. In the following frame, the 4 has moved, but I think the cue ball has already hit the cushion and is moving to the right.

On that kind of shot, it is always possible that the cue ball just barely brushed the ball going in and fair/foul shots will look the same.

I think it's not possible to call the shot from the video.

For what it’s worth, here is a video capture with me moving forward slowly through the frame. I think I see the OB move before the CB hits the rail.

Dealing with the Close-to-Cushion Safety

H
I was talking to someone about dealing with the safety where the object ball (like a final 8 ball, or next ball in a 9-ball game) is close to the cushion but not frozen, and the opponent gently rolls the cue ball against it, pretty much perpendicular to the rail. I told him that there is a video on the web--I think by Darren Appleton--showing different ways to deal with it, but while I found it immediately a few months ago, I cannot find it now.

Anyone familiar with that video?
