WWYD 9.30 - Break Response

If I am a champion I'm kicking one rail to move the 2 ball to my pocket, I might run out from here. and if I miss I probably tie him up with the 6 in the way . pocket speed , Reason why so aggressive, Any of the top 30 guys will drain the one rail bank on the ten on you from many positions on that long rail, and you should lose from there.
If I am me. I am either kicking behind the 2 or banking the 9 to my side and rolling the cueball just above the first diamond out from his pocket on the long rail. if they bank the 10, I better be getting a good spot unless they sell out.
That is a nuance not even all good players use, learning your opponents true speed and favorite shots while playing , without having to play a dozen times and wondering how you lost. I just watched Filler and Gorst play . I am sure they have played several times now and Filler still doesn't know that if he puts Gorst in a jam and there is a makeable bank that gets balls if made . Gorst is for sure shooting! He better wake up to that or the next 15 or 20 years will be a lot tougher for him

It looks like I can bank the 9, cut it a little to the left so that the CB glances off the 13 or 1, with some LHE and spin behind the 2.

If that doesn't look good to me at the table I probably kick at the 2 ball soft and if I can get under the 2 and take a foul, that's even better so it blocks the 10.

I also dont mind Billy's 2 ball pocket speed to make it either. Depends how I feel at the table, because with some LHE, the CB spins up into the catcher's mitt after contacting the 2, so it could turn out swell.

After looking at it again, not sure if I can glance off the pack at that angle in my post above, so I think I may just keep it simple and cross the 9 to my side, CB to long rail and behind 2. I may get lucky and the 9 caroms off the stack to my hole.

It apears that the 9 banks so simple answer bank the 9 and run a bunch of balls

 

[catkins]

if I can not bank the 9 next is the kick on the 2 if that is not available I am banking the 9 at the 11 or thirteen with a punch run shot an right english to float behind the 14

i like it alot with or without the foul

assuming the 9 is not bankable to make
and you dont want to play a simple intentional (your opponent might make you shoot again ......sorry i could not help myself)
be a man and....(drumroll please....)
COMBO KICK BANK THE 2 AND RUN OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 2 i think is too low to shoot it but it looks good from where i am sitting ....

I like this shot but with this idea but instead of the straight kick on the 2 cut the 9 over there and stun/tiny draw the cue ball over behind the 8 and 13 cluster using the angle of the cut on the 9.

I can't believe I almost didn't even make post this WWYD. Thanks for the nudge, Chris! I won't let that happen again. Video response should be done today so this is your last crack at it.

My responce would be to aggresivly bank the 5 and freeze the stack. good shot Good wwyd.

I would 3 rail kick the 2 to my side and let the cue ball go up table towards the head rail
the. 2 ball is a good place for it
if you play 3 cushion i think you would agree
even if you hit it thick by mistake
you hit it away
cue ball goes toward the stack
