Tony's shot --- his pocket is at the top left --- ball score is 4-4, both going to 8 --- wwyd ----->
Ghosty, I'm playing the 9-5 combo, playing the shot at pocket speed. I'm playing the cue ball side rail and down to the bottom rail. if i make the 5 I'm in good shape to win the game right there. if i miss I'm going to leave the 5 real close to my pocket maybe even in the pockets jaws. also if i don't make the 5 the 13 balls should block any clear path to the 5. either way i feel this shot can be the winning shot in the game. keith

just woke up and saw the thread
first shot that came to me
good call sappo
to my eye the cut on the 5 is too thin to control the cue ball unless you are planning to get shape on the 3 next.......

I'm in favor of cutting the three with just enough speed to get the cue ball back to my side rail, leaving Ghost straight in on the fifteen. He's not shooting it, guaranteed. Nothing to gain and everything to lose. I would like to get the three close to my hole, but just it's being down table and having no angle to bank it across to his side, will force him into a difficult position trying to remove that ball without surrendering to me a more appealing option. If I happen to make the three, that's fine. I can then bank the ten below the nine- five and hide it near my pocket, holding the rock along his side rail.
