I would like to shoot the 3 ball into the 2 ball and draw the cue ball to the top rail doubling him up behind the 9 ball. This shot is risky because how closely the cue ball is to the rail.

SJDinPHX said:Thats the 1st shot I saw Billy...You would have to hit it pretty bad not to accomplish what you said. On a table I was remotely familiar with, that could be a "game changer". (maybe even on an unfamiliar table, it would still work)..
IMO, its the right shot..
PS..Hope you are doing OK...You are spending a lot of time on here, spreading your wisdom..Have you gone into hibernation from action ?..

It's hard to show because of the short table.

PS, JJ really broke'em swell for the case game !
I don't think you have the right angle to do that, even if you did it would be very risky. A sell out would be possible, why take that chance without a reward.lll said:billy that was the first shot i saw too
except i would have put him between the 5 and the 8
p.s. do you remember that foot shark thing??

wincardona said:That's a good option, and probably the right way to play the shot providing the angle allows you to get up table. Even if your unable to get behind the 9 ball your still going to leave him distance and straight in, that's always an ally.

Its a natural angle to go one rail off the side rail too the end rail.
The shot is aoutomatick. Shooting the other way is too hard too control the cue ball and were its going. Its not a natural angle.
vapros said:If I understand your diagram correctly, he hit the stripe and then drew the CB about 8 or 9 feet to get it to the upper right corner. He had to whack it pretty good, and he moved a lot of balls. Looks like it came out okay, but I am wondering whether he could envision all that motion before he shot, or was there quite a lot of blind faith involved? How many of our group would have chosen to do that, rather than take a scratch to reach the same position? I believe he moved all except seven balls.
wincardona said:The shot Buddy chose was a good choice because he has the ability to control the cue ball where he needed to put it. It's not a type of a shot that I would advise shooting,
Buddy felt confident that he could play the cue ball where it ended up, and knew he would get fairly good action with the shot. He felt that considering the position of the balls, and the options that he had available to him that his choice was a good one. It looks like he was right.

I understand that Jeremy has a shot to put Buddy in trouble, but you have to agree that Buddy came up with a very creative shot and controlled the cue ball beautifully. Now Jeremy is going to have to make a good shot to strengthen his position. It does look like he can come off the 7 ball, but it doesn't look like a natural shot he's probably going to have to use a little draw with the shot and there's no guarantee that he'll succeed. But that's the beauty in watching champions play, they keep coming with good shots.Artie Bodendorfer said:Not too good Billy if he goes off the 7 ball behind the ten ball buddy is almost fionished.
And he can kiss the 7 ball off the 4 ball I think it is and sowe him up very tight behind the ten ball.
Buddy is in big trouble. But it depends what Jeromie shoots.
And he looks like a very smart one pocketr player too me.
He oppened up everything for Jeriomy and thats not good.
