This came up the other day...

I'm at pocket A and my opponent is at pocket B. It's my shot and we both need two balls.
I shot to bank the 1-ball, but I barely missed and the cueball went up and gave him a shot on the 2-ball and he got out. Was there something safer? Was it just a matter of me executing better? I tried to hit the 1-ball with enough inside to come up and hit the 2-ball, but it floated up past the 2-ball.
The table was also extremely slow, so I knew I had to hit the 1-ball with a little speed to make it. Just knocking the 1-ball away would have sold out the bank on the 3-ball I thought.
