I think the diagram is wrong. For that angle, and for the 3 to make it to the pocket, I think the cue ball has to hit the end rail (and bounce).

Also, I think the chance that he was actually playing that bank is zero.

I had the same reaction. To cut the three thin enough to bank it backward into the corner, the cue ball would have to be going very, very fast. My guess is the cue ball would go at least another fifteen feet, and probably more. I also agree that this was a total fluke. There is no strategic argument for a hit this thin on the object ball.

Hi, the position is correct. After looking at the diagram again, I have to agree with you. However, this shot really rocked the house.

Not too many misses in this match. A lot of great shotmaking seen tonight.

A forbidden sum, as zero, meaning nothing.

I concur.
