This is why you're the Ghost.One Pocket Ghost said:I don't know what Scott did....and contrary to what v suggested....the One Pocket strategy in this situation that all sesooned players that I know use, is...that when the final ball is at the points of the pocket diagonal to your pocket, as in this example - you don't shoot the ball in - your goal is to nudge it deep into the jaws so the your opponent is forced to make it - because when he's forced to make it, he has to get the cueball over to the other side of the table to not leave a shot...
...and I wish I had a quarter for every time I've seen a player not get safe when pocketing that hanging ball - usually by leaving the cut shot.

SJDinPHX said:We used to call that a "Grady shot"...it has about a 30% success ratio...I assume you would be getting staked to fire at such a low %tage shot... (especially if it were the last ball on the table).. It is frought with peril...
Of course the Ghost is correct (I'd expect nothing less). Alex hit it like it had eyes and it went straight in his pocket. After Scott & Alex got done kissing and hugging they played game 5.One Pocket Ghost said:Hey 'loose cannon'! thanks for the vote of confidence for my shot - glad to see you like it...30% success ratio is great - now I'm for sure shooting it....I was only figuring it for a 15% success ratio...
