Clarification. If I miss 2 ball and leave it on short rail Rod might have easy 9 ball bank

Cowboy Dennis said:stljohnny,
If the 9 doesn't go airborne till at least the side-pocket then you didn't hit it hard enough . I've almost knocked myself out several times slamming that shot. It's a thing of beauty when it goes though.

The trick to the shot, and this is directed at Doc, is to use a slower, smoother delivery with maximum right english (not masse!), and a very loose, no grab on the butt, follow thru. That helps the cue ball to go forward, rather than deflect whereby you would need a masse stroke. The execution is easy and the Ghost is nuts. Its a dandy thing to know.

gulfportdoc said:To my eye, they way they lay, it looks as though the shooter would almost have to masse with right english into the 2-ball in order to get enough spin to get above the 9-ball. Might be a good choice anyway though, as long as the opponent is not left a cross-corner on the deuce when it's missed.
I'd be inclined to just bank the 2 over to my side above the 9, and leave whitey on A's long rail.

John, the one railer on the two is a risky shot, possibly leaving a return shot on the 2 ball if missed. The two railer on the 2 ball is a much better shot PROVIDING you can controll the direction and speed of the cue ball. The emphasis should be placed on the speed of the cue ball. If this shot is executed with good speed on the cue ball you may snooker your opponent on the 2 ball and increase your chances of winning. By executing good speed with the cue ball you take away all banks on the 9 ball, unless you butcher the shot.jrhendy said:From the angle on the WEI you could almost make it one rail and hide the cue ball behind the 9 uptable.
I would take a prop bet (small) and shoot this shot against the two railer.
If you're talking about the 2 ball cross corner, the speed of that shot doesn't put the cue ball behind the 9 ball, unless you shoot the cross corner SHORT of the pocket and hit it extra soft. Then you may leave your opponent options with the 9 ball. If your referring to the straight back one railer on the 2 ball, then for sure the speed of the cue ball is in question, which makes this shot a poor option. In any case the one railer on the 2 ball is a poor choice, and as much as I like you, you have action with me, for small money.$jrhendy said:From the angle on the WEI you could almost make it one rail and hide the cue ball behind the 9 uptable.

fred bentivegna said:The WEI table might have mislead you. The WEI table dimensions are not 4 1/2 by 9 scale. The one railer has a chance if the cue ball was a few inches up off of the short rail. I tried that shot on a real table also. Hit perfectly, the cue ball travels 5 rails (hitting below the side pocket on the 3rd rail) and continues uptable and gets behind the 9 ball.
I dont see how you are going to bank the 2 one rail and leave the cue ball behind the 9 using easy speed.
If you are just trying to make the 2 ball, period, I have a 1 rail bank that I shoot in my DVD, Banks That Dont Go, but Do, whereby the cue ball whizzes back and forth between the side rails.

John you are amazing. I couldnt get Bugs to shoot trick banks with me, but you're gonna challenge me!

Dear John, how about you start every shot with the one railer for $25.00?jrhendy said:I said ALMOST make it, but I would shoot the one rail bank over the two railer. I can get it on my side of the table and hide it behind the 9 ball.
I agree that the one rail on the 9 ball is suicidal.
I will put you on my dance card for The Derby for $50 a pop. You shoot the two railer & I'll shoot the one rail shot.
Freddie's not barred either.
