Appeared to be center 1 tip Left. to me.

Was going to watch it last night but "sleepy" won the battle for my attention.

if you look closely at the axis of spin on the cue ball it looks like a 10 oclock hit
and by how much the cue ball is spinning 2-3 tips worth
dont go by where tip pauses at prior to the backswing
philipino players often pause one place and hit somewhere else on purpoise

Hank & Larry, yes I believe Larry has pinned the hit on the cb. What gives it away as being above center is that after the cb contacts the 8 it draws back. Top spin reverts back to draw once it leaves the rail. The diamond cushions will greatly emphasis this pocket billiard principle for they enhance spin, top & bottom. Even though the 8 is fairly far off the side rail the cb still carries the draw into it.
The left spin is to hit the 8 more full.
thanks guys! Whitey

Larry, Howdy;

I wasnt watching the pre-pause point, I got lucky and hit the pause button just right to catch the tip in contact with the cue ball.
May indeed be a smidg above the center line but the power in the stroke can elevate the spin rate as well.

Whitey I've been aware of the reversal effect the rails have for a time now. and watching the resulting spin on the other balls confirms it.

Thanks guys. Always solid information.

Guys
A measle ball has spots on it
Look at the axis of spin on the spots
Whitey your comments on the reaction off the object ball is of course spot on
