Thorsten Hohmann vs. Gabe Owen 2009 D.C.C.

[Cowboy Dennis]

Due to the Duck's unrelenting pm's, phone calls and e-mails pressing me to post more and more bank layouts so that he can refine his game in time for the D.C.C. (2058) here's another. Gabe is up 2-1 this game and it's Hohmann's shot. What would you do?





I guess this might be needed:

 

[ChrisBanks]

If I was playing at the DCC, I would roll in the 3. But if you want to be a little daring, you can cross the 7 and bring the cueball back up table. And if you make it, then roll in the 3 afterwards.

I'm assuming the 3 is at the head rail. If the 3 is at the foot rail, then you don't roll it in.

since there is only one spot on the table
i assume thats where they rack them or foot of table...

I like the shot & was thinking the pretty much the same.

Could you explain why you'd roll the five in at the head & not the foot?

Well I guess you could, but it's a more difficult shot because you can't leave the cueball near the pocket. That cross-side bank with a ball on the spot is an easy shot for a bank player. So you'd have to bring the cueball back to the middle diamond maybe.

We'll have to wait for John or Freddy to get the official word.

 

[ChrisBanks]

I think you would have to do something like this to roll it in on the foot rail.......

 

[New 2 You Qs]

I had to set this shot up on my table before replying as I wanted to see the angle when shooting the 7. I agree that crossing the 7 is possible, but for the cueball to take the path ChrisBanks illustrates in his picture you would have to put quite a bit of left of the cueball. There is a kiss in the shot if it is not hit perfectly.

With that said, I would pocket the three ball. Instead of the rail-first shot, I would draw it to the middle diamond on the bottom rail.

 

[John Brumback]

I would

I would

get the bridge out and shoot the 3 In and draw the cball over 3 to 5 ins and try to freeze It on the rail.The 7 looks to me like It's dead on the kiss or real close.To close for me to try It with all those balls all over and In play.John B.

Of course it isn't, you moron...You didn't identify your ball's AGAIN !! (scary thought) Why don't you leave your stupid "shot selections" to Larry, or someone who at least has a clue how to present them...

PS..'Birdlint' you are wanted in the members section...:frus

Dear Corncob Pipe Breath,

Can you interpret the english language and/or pictures & numbers??? I realize this is a stretch for a Duck but for you it shouldn't be so tough.

P.S. This is from post #1.

Dear "sittin' on the back porch in Grannys rocking chair" Breath,

Why pay attention to post #1 and the ball numbers??? It would only clarify your responses.

Being behind and not having any decent banks (in my mind), I like pocketing the 5-ball and dragging the cue about a diamond over toward the middle of the table. Doesn't have to go all the way over to the middle diamond -- the main thing is to stick the cue pretty tight to the end rail and take away the cross side on the spotted ball, imo.

On second look, you could also nick the right side of the 7-ball with right english and come all the way back to the foot rail with the cue ball.

Hohmann banked the 9 ball straight-back.

I would have to be on a real table to really see if that shot goes. Apparently it did, so that is what i would have shot also. Knocking off the 5 from that position is a stiff because the shot is no good unless the cue ball gets absolutely frozen to the end rail and about a diamond at least away from the corner pocket. To do that you would need the cue ball to be closer to the head rail and maybe closer to the 5 ball.
If you dont freeze it your oppo can shoot the spotted ball up table, either shooting into a ball on the other side or shooting it up and back down and pulling the cue ball back to the foot rail putting you in the trouble.
