I know in fouette shots you can get the tip out of the way of a double hit thanks to the tip offset, maybe a little cueball deflection, shaft flex, and an tip redirection off the curved ball. And the key is that it is not a miscue.
However for shots like this, is it possible to get the tip out of the way without it being an intentional miscue? I imagine it’s impossible to “swoop up” after contact as the space and timing it too tight and the initial trajectory is too downward. I imagine at best you can attempt it like a fouetté shot with a lot of tip offset to the side but is the rail compression enough space to get the tip out of the way without intentionally miscuing?
I feel like this is a famous and familiar trick shot. And often trick shots are given some latitude on the rules. And the more familiar the public is with a shot the more likely they are to just consider it good because they’ve seen it before. But would this pretty much guarantee to be a foul even if in video it looks or sounds clean?
