Miller said:me also. bear down on that stripe in the middle of the table about 1/2 tip outside. if the solid was about a ball width closer, i think it would be near impossible to miss.
do you mean the stripe by the spot??(14??)Miller said:me also. bear down on that stripe in the middle of the table about 1/2 tip outside. if the solid was about a ball width closer, i think it would be near impossible to miss.

I marked the spot to hit for drawing the CB, might get lucky playing safe.

Different shot, might get lucky, might sell out. Room to hit it good though.

androd said:First, you put on one pocket blinders. so you can't see the 8 ball.
If you cut it a little thin you may get 2 kisses and make it.
If you hit it a little fat you may get 1 kiss and make it.
Or maybe you shoot it right in.
Rod.
NH Steve said:It does look awfully tempting to just shoot at my own pocket here. But assuming in real life it might look a little tougher -- especially if the table is tight. So in that case I'm definitely doing something with the solid by Frost's pocket. It looks like there is enough room on the left side of the solid near Frost's pocket (as Cliff looks toward it) to cut that ball to the right and get a little intentional double kiss to bump the solid over a little (adding to the wall protecting balls near Cliff's pocket), and leaving the cue ball near Frost's pocket.

Miller said:how about it senor? which one?
androd said:Yes I didn't see this shot before. I like it. Much easier than the kick I diagrammed. The kick is a good shot but takes practice and you must know the formula.
