What would cliff do? 0-0
take out the 4 with the 13 and leave the cue ball in the best place you can with the angle given on the short rail.
if you can do franks shot with the angle then that is good.
but that 4 has to go away.

Looks like he can two rail the 13 into the back of the 4 and freeze the CB under the 11. 13 goes up table and the 4 crashes the stack, moving some balls to his side, possibly making the 4 ball.
mitchIf I can see the cross bank on the four of course I'm taking that shot. But if not I'm going off the 11 I'm putting the Q behind the four. I do think it can be done without a kiss.
this was the first shot i saw

That's it Larry, but I would want the CB much nearer the 11 ball though. For the shot to be successful the CB must be within a couple of inches of the 11 and preferably froze on the foot rail, otherwise unless the 4 actually goes, it could very easily be a sell out of a bank on the 4 or another ball from the stack that got pushed over by the 4 ball.
Just sayin, if the angle was good to lay the CB on the foot rail and pop the 13 two rails into the back of the 4, then that's what I would do,
It looks to me that getting the CB on the 11 requires cutting the 13 slightly to the left, which sends the 13 2 rails into the 4, but the bottom of the 4, so the 13 might come right back at the CB and the 4 goes uptable.

Pretty much everyone identified the 4 ball as the primary issue to deal with.
This particular situation caught my eye because it shows how a top 1P player like Cliff takes it one step farther. He not only spin kick banks the 4 ball, he does it with such perfect cue ball control that he sends it 3 rails behind the ball on his side at the top of the table.
He does this kind of thing regularly btw, I've seen it in gambling matches here several times. A different level of the game entirely.
