danny's shot danny has the lower right pocket as you view the table. wade broke and most of the balls are on his side.

I agree -- seems like anything else would be.... wildOne Pocket Ghost said:I'd probably shoot the basic ticky safety behind the 5ball - 5ball goes one rail towards the 3ball, cueball ends up on the head rail at the 1/2 diamond area - and the 13-14 will be hiding the 1ball.

I also agree with your way of shooting the ticky shot. I don't like the aggressive way with the firm hit but mainly because if you don't set something up to your side you're exposing the straight back on the one ball with a good angle to take the q to your side of the table where he may have plenty to shoot at from there.One Pocket Ghost said:Steve...My execution of the shot would be slightly different then your depiction of it - but an important distinction...I'm 'tickying' the 5 slightly fuller/firmer than you displayed - I'm having it rebound further up off of the short rail up to where the 3ball is - so that I don't leave him any kind of cross-corner shot on it.

PS, If you want to be aggressive, you also could shoot a firm stop shot with the cueball, and send the 5ball 2 rails into the 3ball and into the stack - you will knock balls over to your side, but the danger is that you could leave him with some kind of cross-corner shot.

Tuesday is election day, and I am voting for Greenshot. It's as easy as Rice Krispies. Snack! Popple! Crap!
Wow -- unbelievable how all the balls ended up on the wrong side! I have noticed that sometimes when you play a dead ball with a lot of rattling in the stack, you get yourself in too much trouble with the secondary and tertiary "soldiers" to make it worthwhile -- looks like that happened here. Danny wasn't in that much trouble to begin with... although maybe he just proceeded to pick off a half dozen cross corner banks to win the game anyway, lol.lll said:unfortunately here is how he ended up
