WPA Says This Shot Is Legal?
Is the shot shown below legal with ball in hand in the kitchen? WPA rules seem to say so.
The rules say a ball's position is where its base is (where it touches the cloth):
So is this shot legal with ball in hand in the kitchen?

And they say the CB can hit an OB in the kitchen if the CB has crossed the head string:8.13 Position of Balls
The position of a ball is determined by the projection of its center vertically downward onto the playing surface.
In the pic below both the CB and the OB start out completely inside the head string, but at the moment of contact the CB's base has crossed the head string (see the closeup below).6.11 Bad Play from Behind the Head String
When the cue ball is in hand behind the head string, and the first ball the cue ball contacts is also behind the head string, the shot is a foul unless the cue ball crosses the head string before that contact.
So is this shot legal with ball in hand in the kitchen?
