    If you used legal equiptment (the cue, balls, table), used a legal stroke (tip first, forward moving cue), made contact with a legal ball first (one from your group) the called ball went in the called pocket, and no other fouls were comitted it is a good shot.

    There have been shots in professional tournements where the only pocket the 8-ball could go in was blocked by 2 opponents balls. The shooter causes the CB to jump into the 8-ball hits the 8-ball considerably above the equator, and has the 8-ball jump over the obstructions while the CB jumps backwards to a safe position on the bed of the tabel.
