The matches shown in the videos are public stuff. Reproducing (approximately) the path of the balls do not violate any copyright, it just shows which path choose the top players for a given position, the aim is to help players to make up their technique with a practical and amusing mean. The...
I've reviewed the real shot that you could see yourself here : - time = 25'30
It's not obvious to see if the ball contacts the long rail twice.
I've remade the shot, as you could see here : https://caromball.com/#/favorite/24981ff9-9895-4d72-8ff8-138f73542520
It's more similar to the reality...
True that the cue ball may not have left the cushion, but this path is impossible with only 2 cushions, so the referee has no choice but to validate the 3C shot. The referee cannot decide if the ball has left the cushion.
This drawshot is number 64 of the official artistic program, available in caromball, as the 99 other ones, and more...
Figure 64 has coef 10, the most difficult one, you could try and make it in our game, it's less difficult than at the table !.
You should try caromball, the trajectories are much more realistic...

The cushion doesn't compress on the simulator, except the fact that, due to the dicretisation of the path, the ball may enter slightly the cushion. However, it's a minor problem according to me. A simulator cannot be perfect, but Caromball gives some very realistic trajectories, as well for...
