Good ole "deflection" shot.
A must-arsenal .
Great demo.
Yep!
How does any aiming method/system account for the needs of that & rather many other shots?
There is also the shot where both balls are on the rail, one on each side of the side pocket. It is a squirt & swerve shot.
Best Wishes, Joey. We Tried before getting shut down.
It's the old simple way of just aiming the cb to "where it needs to go", as Duckie would say. That's the only system I know of that works on every shot.

If I remember right it’s about 3/8” (which is about 9.5mm, so a bit under a tip width).just under a tip's diameter apart (3/4 I believe)

Thanks for posting that! I think those shots near the rail happen a lot more than the two balls frozen on the rail. Definitely worth practicing so you can get yourself out of trouble.
Maybe I can add one additional trick? Awhile back Dr. Dave showed that when the cb and ob are just under a tip's diameter apart (3/4 I believe) then you can shoot anywhere up to about a half ball hit and the ob will still go straight. This means if you have the cb and ob frozen on the rail and right close to each other (about a tip or less)then you can simply shoot away from the rail up to a half ball hit and the ob will go. This actually happened to me shortly after I learned the shot and it worked like a dream! I always say "Thanks Dave" when a shot like that comes up.
Oh yeah - that would be about right for most tips.By 3/4 I meant about 3/4 of a tip width, just to be clear.
