Efren may have done one of his 'Efren shots' here...but as for players other than Efren...
Some think I'm a mover and not a shooter - don't believe it - and I'm shooting at my hole here..
...well actually, I'm shooting and moving-at the same time - the best of both worlds..:heh...a shot that hasn't been mentioned - and it's the nuts, and laying perfect, the pink a very accommadating amount off the rail...
I'm loading up with left english, however much is needed from that angle, and kicking two rails into the pink - and very likely making it in my pocket -
I love it when this shot comes up - I've shot it a million times...
It's a simple shot to shoot, and you can easily make the pink, run balls and maybe run out...and if you don't make the pink, it should end up in front of your pocket with the cueball snookering him behind the stack, as per the angle that the cueball comes off the second rail and then cutting the 4 ball...

PS, As previously mentioned, going off the pink and into the stack is an ok shot, but even with the shot hit perfectly, you don't gain much...your opponent is not in any trap - all he will do is take an intentional, banking off the side rail, and leave you on the bottom rail - or he may be able to thin a ball to get you to the bottom rail and not even have to take an intentional...
So, trust the Ghost here
the kick is a much stronger choice, (as long as you have at least halfway decent kicking skills) with it's excellent chance of a huge payoff.
