  If the cup were really, truly where it is shown on camera view 2,

  Is this based on the assumption that the 2 views are exact 180° views or is it possible the cameras aren't lined up causing the discrepancy?

  The cup being drawn at the wrong place makes huge sense.

  That never entered my mind.  If you have 5 camera views, the position of the ball relative to the cup as drawn on the 5 screens should be identical.  If the ball misses 1" right, all 5 should show it missing 1" right.

  How does parallax factor in?

  Parallax is not a factor IMO. Besides, I hear she's busy dating Nobulax.

  If you pause it just before it gets to the cup,  you can see it is heading to the edge of the cup.....Just looks like a typical lip out to me...

   

  Once it lips out however,  the trail on the ball makes it appear to have gone over the cup and through the pin....  Just an unlucky miss would be all I would take that as.

  The width of that tracer is deceiving. You were actually high on the cup and it lipped out. The replay makes it look like it went right over the hole but it didn't.  Sorry.
