Sticking with the good ideas with bad results, or bad ideas with good results theme of this match so far.. :frus
Soft-hit the 7 into the 1, but let the 7 bump off the rail enough for the 9 to get by. Or.. zigzag the 3 the long way, making it but hooking himself, which is about the same as the alternative of missing it and leaving somebody all those bank shots up-table.
Bump the 7 shooting towards the end rail so the 7 doesn't move far while still dropping the 1.
Efren may drop the lone(5?) ball in pocket, draw back into the 7, dropping the 1 and hooking him between the 7 and the pocket.
