Playing an intentional miscue

[Bob Jewett]

Here is an example of the striker playing an intentional miscue to achieve a soft safety: https://youtu.be/UCFD3kaEmLU?t=208 (3:28 into the video).

Such shots are allowed in snooker but forbidden in pool as unfair manipulation of the ball.

And here he is doing it a second time in the same match: https://youtu.be/UCFD3kaEmLU?t=428

First one....Looked like a bad hit to me...and I’m not against deliberately miscuing.
