Straight ahead on the three ball with follow and wait for a better opportunity to mess up that combo.
I think it might be time to stall for more options.
I think I would kick off the end rail using the X-zero system and put the cue ball behind the balls closest to the pocket.
I have been experimenting with this system and find it extremely accurate on these types of shotts.

I like clippin' the one ball thin on the left side. This forward rolling ball will bank two balls away and the cue ball will naturaly roll towards the corner pocket. The key is to be able to clip the ball above the ten thin enough to allow the thin carom on the ten and the rest of the shot comes together naurally.
Santos beat me today with a shot something like this.

santos seems to be able to see a way to "part the red sea" and make a channel for the cue ball to navigate

He is still in trouble. Cliff will thin the six and put the CB back where it was so he doesn't have a shot, and he has to try to come up with another great shot.-Smitty
Whos Island Dave?
What also happens with the 9 banking cross side after the carom, and this hit on the 9 will take the brundt of the cue ball speed, you'll also move some upper balls above the spot towards your side, and the carom angle off the ten allows for NO chance of scratch.
Cliff could barely hit the cue ball for several shots after seeing this incredible shot. The still photos don;t do it justice. The way the cue ball slowly made it's way to the side rail and then spent the incredible spin Santos had endowed it with to go low enough to hook Cliff was high art. Cliff admitted later that he was stunned by this shot and although he eventually won the set, it took him several shots to recover. Ronnie Weisman who sas commentating said the croud should be standing on their feet and giving Santos a standing ovation after the shot.
