I'm gonna bank the 6 more or less toward my pocket, and draw the rock - er - stone - er - the cue ball to the long rail, then to the short rail and into the trap I have prepared for poor Barney. I'm much too smart for him.
Kick the 7 9 combo toward your hole and cueball behind the 8 ball

Don't know if I would be confident in controlling this shot in a high stakes game, but for friendly money I'd try this double carom with a touch of low right spin (guess you may have to open the attachment to see it). Opens up the balls and leave's Barney in a trap.
I developed a decent feel for these double caroms after Dr Bill talked about it once a long time ago.

Fred has a 2-0 lead and it's his shot. What would you do?

Nice shot but adding the second rail will send the ball into the pocket since it's off a bit. The ball needs to be cut a bit. Cue ball will go to a safe area.
It doesn't get any better than this!nice shot robert

cant see how you can tuck under the 8 that way?
if you come from the short rail
it looks to me to make the combo(coming from the short rail) you would hit the 7 too full for the cue ball to drift high enough to get behind the few balls left in the stack area
icbw
you are usually right
i agree the combo isnt on with the way i diagrammed it thats why i put the 9 towards the hole
getting the 9 over to the pocket seems strong you are strengthening your position and making it difficult for barney to play safe
