Thats a good shot and a good angle and a great player shooting it. That is pretty clear choice.

There is a circus shot available, if your mad at your money, or looking to impress a stake horse. Double bank the 6 ball and send whitey into the 2 ball for position on either the 7 ball or a possible shot on the 4 ball.
But I suggest we get back to playing solid one pocket. Lets put up a more interesting situation, one we have a chance to slaughter.

DEnnies we can get this Bird If you have one off his taps.
Maybe he was a little younger and better looking too. Like in the Hppy days.
I dont no if they go back that far.
Artie Bodendorfer said:Double bank the 6 ball is a very strong shot. I like that shot.
I remember this match. I play it at 4x normal speed and they are still moving slow . It's not fair for me to opine because I may be remembering what he shot.lll said:i know we all have been riveted to to our seats on the question of calling fouls on ourselves
but if we can gently go back to shot selection
jeremy just broke (poorly imho) in the first game
some say the shot after the break could be the most important
its buddys shot
what to do???
What's wrong with softly shoting the combo, not necessarly to make it but to get it cose. the 6 isn't going any where and you could spin into the 2.Cowboy Dennis said:I remember this match.

I didn't like what Buddy did, he gave Jeremy an opportunity to develop a position with no risk. It looks like Jeremy shot and tid up the 1 and 8 balls and the 2 and 10 balls.lll said:heres how he left it

That's a pretty tough take out, shooting at 9 feet away from the diagonal corner pocket. I think the tendency for most players is to want to clear the opponent's hole on this layout. But Jeremy doesn't have a single ball on the table that will go into his hole. I've "died on the vine" many times in these type situations. It might be time to put some balls in front of his pocket.wincardona said:Now Buddy shoots a good shot, taking advantage of the balls tied up by Jeremy's pocket but maybe the balls didn't roll so great for Buddy either. If the three balls in front of Buddies pocket are positioned like I think they are Jeremy can move all of them by hitting the 7 ball thickly and banking it into the side of the 6 ball. The cue ball will carom into the 9 ball and move that ball away as well. BE CAREFUL not to use a high ball when you execute this shot, there's a possibility of a scratch if you do. I would use a low ball with a tip of left english to control the cue ball with this shot.

It depends upon whether the 14-9 is wired or not. If not, I might consider rolling the 3 ball down to break up the 10 & 2, placing all three in front of the hole. The object would then be to nestle the CB up behind the 1-8. If executed well, Buddy has nothing. And it's going to be very difficult to leave the CB where Jeremy wouldn't be able to make something.
There again, from our Greenshot view the layout is distorted, so the correct shot might be something else. Jeremy is a very good 1P player, and if I'm not mistaken he won this match; so It's likely that he took the best shot from here.
