equal distant Bank shot inquiry

[nevadarain]

Hello all. I have a quick question in regards to the equidistant bank shot, specifically the diamon 4 to diamond 2 equal distant bank shot. If the rebound angle is greater than the approach angle, how come this shot goes in?

If you're aiming right at the diamond, you hit the rail in front of the diamond, which is too short. When it rebounds wider, it makes up for the short aim point.
