In a four-corner-pocket rectangular table, it is possible to deposit two balls simultaneously into the same corner pocket (as shown above). The diagram shows that one of the balls bounces off of a cushion once back to its target pocket.
Is it possible to achieve this for balls cushion-bouncing the same number of times, regardless of the table size?

From each point on the table, there is only one way to sink the ball for each number of bounces.
