WWYD Out of Boredom

[12squared]

I took Di to the airport this morning to go see her Mom. I planned to watch The Masters all day up until Tony and Billy started at 4PM mountain time, I did. Well that ended in a hurry so I was now bored. I went downstairs to try some 1pocket ghost using a kick break for something to do. I really want to run a 15 using that break but it's tough, but I'm determined (I have until Monday evening).

Here's a picture of the balls after the break and I was wondering if you were playing the 1pocket ghost where your pocket is the lower left, WWYD? I have the video of my solution that I'll post after a while.

play off of the 11 to make the 4 ball. Also it looks like the 9 two rails between the 1 and 3.

If the 9-ball cannot go two rails between the 1-ball and 3-ball THEN I would play the 9-ball three rails. The 9-ball would strike the third rail and carom off the 2-ball into the scoring pocket.

OR I would once again play the 9-ball, but only one rail down table and have it come back and carom off the 10-ball and 6-ball cluster into the scoring pocket.

Very creative thanks. The 9 would not pass those balls to 2 rail it.

Don't worry, I did after making the first shot with no position. Lol

Any other thoughts?

Bank the 9 ball 1 rail long

No wonder you did so well in the MOT!!! What a creative mind.

I liked the 9 one railer, too, but bridging over the 4 ball I didn't feel I could hit it with enough power.

Are you playing the cue ball from there or ball in hand?

Cue ball from there, but good question. Most of my 1pocket ghost attempts begin with no ball in hand. I'm a masochist

Playing Ghost, I'd probably fire 8 into 14-13

Nah, you play too good for ball in hand. I just wanted to make sure before I posted a lengthy answer.

Nice one, but I think the 8 was in the way too much so needed to spin it which is not easy to due treed over the 14, and not sure if that ball would pass the 15 either, but I like it. Thanks.

Just so you all know, a half hour ago I finally ran all 15 balls using the kick break. I'm saving it to YouTube now. Made one on the break and had a 3 ball combo to start the run. Pool is so fickle, last night I was tortured off the break, today gifts from pool heaven. Yay for gifts.

 

[unoperro]

Made 1 on the break and didn't rerack? Scandalous

 

[Dennis "Whitey" Young]

if you can see the 6 enough, then play it off of the 2.

J.R. gets the cookie. No shape but you can hear how excited I was to make it. Thanks for playing.
