At 29:48 he hits the 3rd diamond & the 2 ball still goes? How is that possible? Does the right spin on the cueball put left spin on the 2 ball & help it go? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fERH4-KxPXA
How does Jayson make this shot?

Do you mean he hit the rail? I don't see it.
It was a very shallow hit on the rail with assisting spin and brand new cloth. New cloth slides a lot more, so the rail couldn't really grab the ball.
6 weeks of play later, that shot won't go unless he hits it a lot softer.

Yes, the 2 ball hits the rail 3 feet before the pocket at 30 mph & still goes. I can't hit cue ball into the 3rd diamond at that speed and make it go.

That's because you, like 99.9% of the world, don't have jaysons stroke
Two other factors, IMO.
The speed at that angle makes the ball want to ride DOWN the rail.
The right hand english on the cue ball becomes 'get in' english on the object ball.
"get in" and "assisting" are us saying the same thing. On broken in cloth and rails, that speed doesn't want to ride anything, it drives off the facing once the table is seasoned, in my experience.

agree with the slippery new cloth and the "get in" or "assist" gear spin effect both helping the ball to go in.
On another note, what a painful ending to a match.

Alex's cue literally catches fire in rack 1
Wow Alex totally shanked the 9/ and gave the match away
Plus, jayson's aim is far more precise than the average bear's...meaning that if he cheats a pocket, the hit point is more specific than us hacks can plan on.
But I will agree with those prior...new cloth, shallow angle and a good bit of corkscrew allowed that ball to go.

An artist's rendition of Alex after the match....
"cheats the pocket" at the 3rd diamond? If I hit the 3rd diamond I'm banking it cross corner.
Still he was flirting with disaster taking that shot (those pockets look pretty tight). But sometimes you just have to take the shot when you're playing a champion.
He could have made the shot and played position for a long cut or safety, but then you have to out move Alex P., LOL.

And that's why everyone should shoot all balls.
Exactly, I'd never concede
But as a % of "off"...it sounds like a lot, but measured in degrees, it is not that much off.
And you might go broke betting against that shot being made!
I'm skeptical..
Is there a way to measure how much spin can be transferred from the CB to the OB? It doesn't seem to me that anyone could transfer very much spin from one ball to another.
But maybe it doesn't take very much to help the OB go in.

I have to wonder if the way Jayson applied the right hand English had something to do with his ability to make that shot? (SES : Swipe English Stroke) The new cloth was a plus for sure.
