where is the 6 going??
Shooting the 6 ball into the striped ball will possibly move both balls from your opponents side of the table, this shot will give you more options the next time your back at the table. As you can clearly see the options you have now are few and not very good, but the balls are positioned favoring you and that's what you should try to protect and build off of. After moving both the 6 and striped balls from their position you will be able to play more aggressively, regardless of the strategy you employ going forward.
Shooting the 6 ball is not an instantly rewarding shot, and should be looked at like more of an investment that will bring you back value. Shots of this kind are considered "smart shots" because they force your opponent to play your game the way you want to play it...FOR NOW. This type of strategy will often create opportunities that are appealing, aggressive, and low risk. Also this shot choice is more effective playing overly aggressive players by putting them in a position where there is nothing good to shoot, and that to them is very frustrating.
