The 2-9 is a suspicious pair. I believe I want to hit it before he does. Kiss off the 2 and push the 9 my way. Get 'em both on my side, at least.
Bank the two towards my hole, caroming the nine over and cue ball goes downtable towards the ten.

Bill, if your shot lays right to billiard the 9ball and send the 2ball to your side there is no other shot, especially if you contact the 9ball thinly sending the cue ball up table toward the 10ball. This shot will accomplish too much for there to be another option as strong as yours. John's shot is similar to yours, i'm giving both you guy's cookies from my jar, I don't care what option the shooter may choose.
Dr. Bill
me too.....Bank the two towards my hole, caroming the nine over and cue ball goes downtable towards the ten.
Actually Larry, I like the shot both Bill and John described, the carom off the 2ball then into the 9ball (if angle allows) sending the cue ball further up table than Grady's shot. Plus with our guy's shot (Bill John) the ending position is much stronger, positioning all balls on your side ..with blockers. This shot falls under my "build and protect" principle.Dr. Bill i'll let you pick up the cookie tab on this one.
this one comes from shots moves and strategies and was shot by grady
from the diagram (in the book) grady came off the 9 into the 2 to bank it
(that could get you off the hook for the cookie Dr. Bill......:heh)
fwiw tyler boston shorty preferred your shot...
my diagram of the shot is in principle only

I don't see how you can hit the 2 ball and then the 9 ball except from the bottom.
I like the shot Grady shot, if it was somewhere it wouldn't kiss.
From this layout I would lag at the 13 ball, ala Tyler.

we really need a score to know what to play- that is huge in 1P.
