Score 6 to 3. Your up and it's your hole where the cue ball is
I'm coming off the 13ball with a med. soft draw, off the side cushion favoring the left side of the cue ball, and applying very little left english.I would hit this shot hard enough to fall short of the 8ball. If I should butcher the shot the worst that can happen is I give up a tough cross corner on the 4ball.Score 6 to 3. Your up and it's your hole where the cue ball is
I'd bank the 15 over to my side and leave him way the hell up there.
Skin.
I'd try to clean'em out a little.
Rod.
The pockets are 4.25
What about bumping the 4 and try to leave long and straight on the 15
I wouldn't leave that sucker shot for myself because I would make it and look for a bank next. Not saying I'd get out, but might tie the score and be in control afterwards.
Is the lane open for the bank across on the 15?

Steve has the right shot and exactly where to play both balls to. Any other option and you are asking to get beat. Your opponent is down 6 to 3. Crossing the 15 ball and leaving him up table is not what you want to do here. If you give him a cross corner he is going to shoot it... If you cross the 15 ball over to your side rail, you leave him the bank on the 4 ball and play the cueball into the 15 ball you just moved. He will have shape on the 13 ball, 8, and 6 ball. Up 6 to 3 crossing the 15 ball isn't even a slight option at ALL!!!
crossing the 15ball is an option (IMO) providing you position the cue ball past the center diamond on the top rail. But I do understand and agree with the problems in crossing the 15ball, it's all about the ending position with the cue ball. The 13ball option like the 15ball option is cue ball control. With the 13ball option you run the risk of leaving a cross corner with the 4ball and the angle to swing three cushions for position on the 6 and 8ball. Both shots have a demand in the execution with the cue ball, and if it's not there then you pass on the option.
However, between the two options the better option would be with the 13ball ...providing you can control the cue ball. With the 13ball option if you can snooker your opponent from seeing the 4ball then you have him in a position he's not going to like.

I agree with you on which option is the most effective, however, when you factor in the degree of difficulty in the execution between the two options I can understand some players leaning toward the 15ball option. But most importantly if you're going to choose the 15ball option you must play a good cue ball.You have a huge margin for error by 2 railing the 13 ball to your side and placing the cue ball on the end rail by the 8 ball. Your opponent have ZERO from there. If you cross the 15 ball your opponent is going to have SOMETHING and down 6 to 3 with the balls on your side and he gets a shot at a bank and shape he is going for it. You KNOW you would shoot the 13 ball Billy so why bring up the 15 ball cross in this situation?
