Here is a link to the video at the shot.

I slowed it to .25 speed and it looks like the cue ball touched the six just before the rail. Good hit, good call.:thumbup:

ok someone else commented on it in the youtube comments..

It appears to be super super close or if not at the same time. So benefit goes to the shooter.

tough call but right call
