It's game 5, Earl is up 1-0 and it's his shot. What would you do?

Earl should play his cueball off the right side of the 5 ball {maybe its the 3 ball I cant tell for sure but its touching the 10 ball}. The cue ball goes to the side rail and falls behind and possibly against the 9 ball. The 10 ball will go into the 14 ball and possibly into the 15 ball moving those balls to his side.
With the cue ball hidden behind the 9 and now balls opened on his side he now has Shannon in a jam. Keith
Keith, that's the first shot I saw. It looked lik this to me.Earl should play his cueball off the right side of the 5 ball {maybe its the 3 ball I cant tell for sure but its touching the 10 ball}.

Lots of shots here but no one mentioned rail first behind the 6 and the cue ball near the end rail behind those 2 balls. Very easy to execute and very safe.
Leaves your opponent shooting away from his pocket.

SJD did.
If the qb doesn't end up on the foot rail there will be some banks avaiable.
That was not my shot JTP, I am banking the 6, into the stack, and floating the cue ball down to the bottom rail.

The shot looks perfect to me, just pinch the 6, and one rail it into the stack, and follow the cue on down to the short rail..Not all that hard, and could be a real game changer ... (just be careful not to scratch..)

I could take a two-rail scratch and roll up behind the 1 ball, but SD would just send me back to the same place. So I would hit the 6 in the face and follow it into the area around SD's pocket. The 6 might not hit anything at all, but it would at least be on my side. I don't really like this shot, but I can't see anything better. There isn't always something better.
To all who would bank the 6 into the so-called stack, where is the 6 likely to end up on that shot?

....the 6 head on hard and stop the CB right there
