Played league last night, this shot came up. The player didn't play it like Eddie did, but the question arose as to whether or not this would have been a legal shot.
I can't find a YouTube video to link, I'll try to (lead up to and) describe the scene...
Eddie just got beat by Mosell, and starts hustling. The old lady beats him, then he beats her double or nothing. Eddie plays the guy with the hat, who beats him and gives him the "'Kk-ckk" sound when he takes his money. Eddie banks the nine, hat guy pays Eddie (and gives hat guy the "Ckk" sound back to him).
Eddie is then wearing a sweater vest, and is looking at his shot. The cue ball is frozen to the rail, and the eight is frozen in line with the cue ball. Eddie drills the cue ball, and the eight goes in the far corner pocket. The cue ball is still frozen to the rail.
Is that a legal shot ? Or does Eddie double hit the cue ball ?
