I assume my pocket is left of the CB. In that case, I bank the 5 off the 3 and go a bit forward with the CB to hopefully not let him see the 5 and only leave an off angle bank on the 13 (or block it with the 5 altogether).

your pocket is to the right as you look at the screen
bill you may want to emphasize that

If your really good you bank the 4 in and run out. There’s 12 easily makable balls in your pocket. Three of those can be used to open the stack.

How would you run out from here assuming you made the bank?

in that case I’m either banking the 4 and bumping the 14 off the rail or if that shot isn’t available I’m banking the 4 off the 14. I think Larry you are going to sell out the 11 if you bank the 4 directly and don’t go into 14 with the CB. It appears too much angle to hold the CB, to my eye anyway

i think a 3/4 hit or alittle thinner with the english will work to my eye
that should be enough to get it close and not lose the cue ball (to me)
you could be right
if the 4 gets close
is he really going to bank the 11?

Nothing to choose between in this wwyd. As has already been said, you bank the 4.

 

[cincy_kid]

those young guns may cut the 5 in the draw off the 13 ball to the side rail in hopes to get another shot.

I am with the others and banking the 4.

I may even shoot it straight on so that the 4 ball caroms off the 14 and goes 1 rail towards my hole, the 14 goes to my side too and by stopping the CB I will have my opponent tripled up on the 11/6/4.

It depends where the cue ball ends up, but I'm planning on the 4 then spinning down for the 5 to open the stack

thanks for the reply jim

The two alternate shots are carom the 5 off the 3 and hide the cue ball or 10 ball and freeze whitie right there.

thanks for the reply jim

The 6 is the alternate break shot but the balls are going the wrong direction requiring a much harder break shot.

It looks more like a half ball hit to me (ie 30 degrees cut angle), rather than 15 degrees (ie 3/4 hit) plus the collision induced spin is going to check the OB but icbw as the picture was taken at an angle.

you could cut it closer to the solid which would make the angle less
i am hoping the english will help negate the cut induced spin and add some running english
yes the pic is hard to be sure
you/me would have to be at the table to be sure

As stated by Cincy Kid, the 5 ball cuts. If not double cross corner bank the 5.

do you really think thats the best shot here whitey?
what do you think your % make is on it?

I like soft kicking the 3/13 combo over to my side leaving him glued to the stack. Looks like they are froze so its a pretty soft hit which also helps your cue ball to lay on the stack.
