...six ball straight back. The angle is perfect, but he may be only shooting into a half of a pocket. No matter, no other shot makes good sense. If he misses the six and stops the cue ball he will leave an easy cross side on the
4 ball (?) but that should be all his oppo can get. If Shannon makes the six then he gets the easy 4 ball and he can shoot it and then play safe. Any other shot, like banking the 4 ball cross corner is betting the whole game on the shot because the cue ball will head into Indian Country, that is where all the other balls are laying. Leaving the easy 4 ball just happens to be a necessary evil. So knowing that, shoot the six with gusto.

If you are a real coward dog you can roll the 4 ball and the cue ball down to the bottom rail along with the six ball and go from there, but that's too nitty even for me.
