I am rolling the 5 ball off the 9 main focus is to leave one ball on the base rail and cue ball on the 11

I like taking an intentional right on top of the 5. Let my opponent commit to making first move that buys him time, however might open something up for me. I have best position and I want to preserve it.
We must have been working on our posts at the same time, your my guy if ya never beat anybody, but a blind orphan with chicken pox.I would shoot the 5-11 combination into the left side of the 7 ball. The 11 goes toward your pocket and the cut angle on the one ball allows you to bring the cue back to where it is on the long rail. I want to protect my advantage here but from uptable my opponent has options that will cause me problems.
not only is it not the end of the world, but if you hit that good it is a good spot to be in even on one.I edited my original post to say five ball
instead of one ball
From the first diagram it looks like I can hit the one pretty full which should give it enough pace to make it and/or the nine hit a rail and drift on top of the 11
If not a foul at this stage is not the end of the world
I like this and was my first thought.5 into 9
Roll onto the 11
vapros shot gets honorable mention
Interesting situation here......My shot --- my pocket is at the top center, behind the 4ball --- ball score is 1-1, both now going to 8 --- I just made a short cross-corner bank, and I shot 1 inch too hard to have the 12 next, and 1 inch too soft to have the 7 next, leaving myself here --- wwyd? ----->
Was waiting for someone to say it...5,9,3 and 3 caroms into 12 all balls your way and I shoot it medium speed with draw to get behind 11 or as close back to the rail as I can5/9/3 moving a bunch of balls and rolling up to the 11.
I also like Nicks shot
this demonstrates (as did the last WWYD) how difficult it is to read a picture. The 5-10 combo just does not, to me, appear to be there.shoot the 5, 10 combo.
We agree .....this demonstrates (as did the last WWYD) how difficult it is to read a picture. The 5-10 combo just does not, to me, appear to be there.
Do you mean the 5-12 ?well as usual my choice is a little different.
shoot the 5, 10 combo. and hold your cue ball which can be tough for some so that it doesnt leak a shot on the 11.
if you make it. and it isnt ridiculous to make it you get to run 4 or so balls at least.
and if you miss you may have a ball in the jaws or close that he cant see
We agree .....![]()
also i think its the 12
I like playing right hand english off the edge of the 5 missing the 9 with the 5 and banking the cue ball off the side rail back short of the 2 on his side rail. . Trying to play all cue ball to protect the 7 with the 8. 5 should be on my side and no threat now too...
