I think instead I woud just four-rail the 10 (14?) away like this -- straight ahead firm stop shot.lll said:
miller that shot comes sometimes after the break and there are also a few balls higher up the long railMiller said:that kick bank would be a pretty shot. i am gonna have to set it up and try to shoot a few times.
my shot here would be to go soft one rail and sit right up underneath it.

petie said:I know you know how to cross this ball and avoid the kiss or you wouldn't have posted it. How about telling us mortals how you do it. Is this the famous shot where the cue actually goes into the jaws but has so much draw it comes back out?
petie said:Let's hear from John Brumback or Freddie. How do you make this bank? I'm serious. It looks like it kisses before the cueball gets all the way accross.

fred bentivegna said:The bank doesnt look to be on. The object ball is too close to the rail to start with. It is difficult to tell if it can be crossed. At least to me, and I can cross these type of shots and beat the kiss as well as any human. There is a trick shot available that can beat almost any kiss from this position. I show it on one of my DVDs. Forgot which one. About 30 degree elevation, semi-jump shot. The cue ball jumps over the kiss. Banking it cross corner however, there is also a big chance of the cue ball jumping the table. The shot works best on cross sides.
What I think is the best shot, provided you cant cross the bank, is to one rail, roll up underneath the ball, kick it out slightly, leaving the object ball in front of the cue ball, and you should leave it where the only option your oppo has is to play off of the ball you just kicked at. This should maintain your favorable position and should provide another offensive opportunity.

Sometimes a guy who needs one and just blew a shot and leave will feel desperate after losing his advantage, and will do something stupid to regain it, feeling he is entitled to it. This is a good position to allow him to do that if he flips out. If he doesn't, nothing lost. Back to the grind.
