In slo-mo it does look like he hit the cue ball at or below center. But the cue ball was off the table at contact and barely clipped the first red in the rack it came to.The problem was not follow...the ball was air born....how I see it.

I would say there were three remarkable parts of the shot:unbelievable to have those two things happen to you in the same shot. ...
I would say there were three remarkable parts of the shot:
the object ball entering, leaving, and returning to the pocket
the cue ball going over the full rack
the cue ball going off the near jaw of the middle pocket and then hugging the cushion down to the far corner pocket
On YouTube you can use the > and < keys to step forward/backward one frame at a time. Here are both balls in the air. This is not the standard sort of rattle on the red.I watched at .25 speed and noticed that the red ball was only pocketed once, he rattled the red ball first and the spin actually put it in the pocket.

Well, he hit the ball too hard. Again.This one would be surely up for consideration as the worst scratch ever. Game and match!

It is actually fairly common on snooker tables for a ball to hit on the near side of the side (middle) pocket and then hug the cushion to the corner. It happens on pool tables, too. The ball is somewhat inside the line of the cushion so the only way it can hug the rail is if it loops out a little and the follow makes it hug.
