I saw a few people attempt it, but it's really not possible. The design of the trident mostly requires that you pull straight or close to straight down to dislodge/release the ball on the rail, and any efforts seemed to have a negligible effect on the final distance.
Also, you have to make sure not to jam the ball into the trident like some of the animations or it will get stuck and is very hard to get off. Lightly placing the ball on the prongs seems to be sufficient to hold it in place
