I like lll's shot if the angle off the stripe faces the way it would need to for the shot. If it doesn't, then I would skim off the stripe, then off the side rail and try to lie on the end rail about a diamond in from the top right corner.

Like this (but I'd still rather shoot what lll suggested if it's natural)

This would be a very bad time to make an error. You have to leave the CB on Gabe's side, about a diamond below the side pocket and as near to the rail as you can. Do whatever it takes. I believe I would two-rail it, long rail first on my side and take the foul. Easier to do, for me.

What about the 9 ball ? He'll just roll you into the back of the stack and you already owe one. :confused:
Rod.
PS, I don't know head rail, foot rail, above or below. Where ever it is won't be pretty.

When I look at Rod's and Steve's shots, I can see Gabe's answer. From Rod's leave, Gabe can come off the 4 ball (second closest to his hole) thinly with RH english and go two rails into Alex's corner and back onto the stack.

From Steve's leave, Gabe will bank the nine straight off the side rail and into the stack knocking a bunch of balls to his side and let whitie go down to the end rail and back up table to lay on the head rail next to the pocket on Alex's side of the table.

I think I would take a foul and shoot whitie 2 or 4 rails first off of the side rail on Alex's side just below the 1st diamond and then the head rail trying to get to the side rail close to Gabe's pocket and die in the space made by the first diamond on the side rail and the first diamond on the foot rail. Ideally, you would actually go from the side rail to the foot rail and die on the ball closest to Gabe's pocket. Yes there is a rather small window that if you fall there, you could leave Gabe a bank on the 8, but it is small. There are a lot more places in the cue ball path where if you stop there, you're OK.

Petie, If he's successful getting me back to the same spot,(providing he doesn't catch the corner, or leave me on the 1 ball) then I'll shoot your shot. As of now I don't owe one. :D
Rod.
PS. I think your shot is a good one. :) I'm always reluctant to take a foul. Probably to my detriment.

Thanks, Rod. Coming from you, it means a lot to me. I know you're a champion.

That's a lot to read and "get", but I think I get what you're saying ;) Why not take it a couple of feet further and try to hit the stripe closest to Gabe's pocket? It would be a three-rail kick shot, trying to nip the stripe, but allowing for a foul in case you don't hit it.
