Close but I would call it good

Playing it back at 25% speed show it to be a good shot. However, listening to the noises the two of you make at that speed is more entertaining.

Thanks for your time everyone. The jury has spoken!

It's possible that the cue ball barely brushed the 9 before it hit the 8. As in, barely rocked the 9 a 64th of an inch. That would not be visible on the video. The ruling cannot be made on possibilities. There is no clear evidence of a foul.

I agree. I’ve seen carom balls touch so thin it doesn’t move but just rotates the stationary ball.

That's where my mind went too.

Those balls do some funny things sometimes.

Just to be different, I'll call bong hit.

This is a job for Justnum.

I (shooter) think it’s good and my opponent thinks it’s bad. What do you think and why? There is a wager pending. Lol

I suppose you could have a 1000 frame-per-second camera zoomed in in the contact points in cases like this. Shouldn't be too much trouble.

Most cell phones these days have built in super slo-mo tech. In my neck of the woods those 'monitoring shots' don't even bother looking at what's going on anymore. Just start the app and point the phone in the right direction. Review the footage and there you go. Usually even the tightest naked eye call is clearly made with this playback.
