What you need to practice on this shot is where your cue ball lands. If you hit the eight quarter ball, the 8 goes to your side and the cue come up table.

There is one shot which no one has mentioned. Coming off the seven and dropping down to the bottom rail. The 9 looks like a scratch from the looks of it and two rail kick on the 8? I dunno John, where’s the cue ball going with all that speed?
Im playing the 9 ball into the one ball pushing it toward my hole. using outside spin and laying the cueball on the bottom rail. K
Playing off the nine to go two rails behind the eight looks dangerous...something about it just looks like a scratch. All the other safes from this position seem kind of weak. I guess I kind a like jacking up and firing the 14 with enougj speed and enough draw to slide across the table into a safe position. It’s a free shot and I like the idea of being aggressive since there’s not a safe play I feel good about.
This is a standard practice shot that needs to be practiced. Forget about all the other balls, for practice put a ball on the spot and start with the cue ball at one corner and work your way to the other pocket. I usually just use two speeds, pocket speed and firm. You also need to practice full, 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 ball hits.
In this diagram a 1/2 ball hit to send the 9 into the 1 should have the cue ball going to the 1/4 diamond above the corner pocket. A 1/4 ball hit should be a scratch, real good speed gets a hook behind the 8. Send me a $100 for the lesson. lol.

Has anyone tried this shot? There is no scratch here!!!!
Try it , you'll like it. K

when the cue ball is so close to the rail
and i am shooting at the treetops of the ball
i try to not use spin and live with the cue ball path
for me adding spin with the cue ball so close to the rail makes the cue ball travel squirrely for me
hitting the 9 in a way to get to the foot rail will still send it towards the one
without english

your thoughts?
Practice hitting it with spin until you can accurately make it!!!! If you are squirting the cue ball adjust your aim. K
