I promise you had an optical delusion
Here is the last video I made for you, ha ha. Time to rest up for the morning day job...

I disagree with the conclusion you made in the video where you say that because the cue ball was heading toward the side rail after the initial collision with both balls that the shot must be good. I do agree with you that if the three had been hit first, the tangent line off the nine does put the cue ball heading toward the rail in the direction that we see. However, if the nine had been hit first, the tangent line would have been pointing to almost a full hit on the three ball and the the resulting tangent line from that impact would have put the cue ball following behind the three exactly on the same line that we see as well. Both cases would put the cue ball initially tracking nearly perpendicularly toward the side rail on the same line that we see (and the secondary hit on the rebounding three ball and resulting ball paths after that would have all been the same in both cases too).
This is one of those very rare occasions where as Bob said in post #36 all the resulting ball reactions are going to be about the same either way. Unless you have a video frame showing where one ball is moving while the other one has not yet moved (which was not the case here), then even your excellent videos with multiple angles, being very close to the hit, and having slow motion still don't settle the matter. This is a rare case where even after having excellent video to review closely you still have to fall back on a "tie goes to the runner" ruling because the video doesn't clear it up either and the ball paths are the same either way.
Hay...don't you get all nutty bout that.
George fels says there's nothin better than pool at 2am in yer underwears.
Come on,you can level with us. We been knowing you for nearin on 2 decades.
We have tables at home we can play naked, right.
You're with me, guys? Right?
Good hit.... watching at 0.25 speed you see a simultaneous hit on both balls and then the 3 double hits the cue ball (which has followed through a bit) off the rail.... hence the reason it goes up table.
BUT, if I was watching/reffing the shot, I might call foul because of the direction the 3 went.
I don't think I'd try the shot in an actual game.

Lol maybe, but definitely not on one of those tables that has jagged metal edges somewhere on the edge trim or corner castings etc. That could be disastrous!
If you think it through carefully the 3 gets double hit and goes the exact same direction no matter which ball is hit first (as do all the other balls).

You mean 7-2, right?
