It's Corey's shot and he's up 7-4. What would you do?

For an offensive.....

The bank to win is hard to pass up especially for a top payer. Play the cue ball to go two cushions toward the upper corner where the three balls are positioned. If the bank is missed bridging over the balls for your opponent could be a problem.

Maybe this. It seems like I saw this here not too long ago.

I would like to put a ball on my side to discourage Van Boening from doing something with that little cluster in the far corner. I don't like the way those two stripes are lined up almost like a dead carom to Shane's pocket and could possibly knock in one or more of the other balls to bring them down to the spot.

I know, I know -- I didn't learn anything from the earlier thread about what to do in this type of opposite corner to spot shot. But no way am I banking at it you can miss hit it too easily or catch a point or scratch with the cue ball and screw your self, and the shot is just too tough from deep in the corner like that.

As long as you can bridge comfortably to spin the cue ball, I can't imagine not shooting this shot. Even if you end up making the 6 and put a ball into play that you'd rather not, your opponent is still in a tough situation. There is the possibility of scratching off the 6 though, but I think it's worth the small risk.

I like Billy I's shot here.

Good chance to win and a good safe if you don't.

I posted your shot a while back in another thread, but in that thread the cue ball was closer to the spotted ball making the hit an easier one. Also Frank with this shot if you choose to bank at it you can use right spin and go toward the three balls and use the three balls as a good resting spot for the cue ball. The natural angle the cue ball should take with this method is ...long.. .coming off the 2nd. rail, which will then take the scratch out of the equation. If you noticed in my initial post I prefaced "especially for a top player"this option is a good one. A top player will hit this shot more accurately...more often lessening the scratch possibility.

My suggestion with shooting to win here is a perfect example of how to increase your percentage of winning when there are three or more balls on the table and you only need one of them. Allow me to explain my thoughts on this kind of a situation. We have four balls on the table and three of them are ...out of play... especially for your opponent. This is the time when you must force a battle to get ...only one ball...Both players will then be in pursuit to score the ball without having the ability to get another one. This type of strategy will only favor the player needing the one ball...(tremendously).. I know...you and everyone here knows that..so what's new.:heh Nothing is new. However, now is the time to force a situation that will greatly benefit the player needing only one ball by ="3"]forcing your opponent to play the game the way ...you want to play it.[/B]

For the player needing only one ball this is where he wants to be...battling ball for ball. Perfect scenario.

10 ball two rails up and down to my pocket.3 rail the cue ball down to that cluster of balls.Looks like an option to me.But I'm in the wrong forum CFB

Your shot is a very good shot taking away ...completely...the possibility of a scratch. However, your shot to me and i'm assuming to most other players... is a more difficult hit from the position referenced. I looked at your shot because of the safeness with the cue ball (always looking to play the cue ball) and wanted to post it but the degree of difficulty with the shot was Imo a little high. Don't get me wrong..there are many players that can pull off this shot with a high degree of success and you're certainly one of them. My option with the ..one rail bank is also a shot that requires a good hit, however, this option is one that most players are more familiar and comfortable with the hit, as opposed to the ..two rail bank (your option)

Bank away, Johnny boy, I ain't mad at ya.

CFB,

Even your shot would be better than what he did. In his neverending quest to find more and more creative ways of losing a game that is in hand, Mr. 2013 DCC One-Pocket champ scratched trying to cut the ball in his pocket.



He left SVB here:

I can't believe he tried to cut that ball in this situation... this may have been corey's worst decision ever and that is saying ALOT!!!!!!!
P.S. Corey's new book is coming out.. its a take off of Buddy Hall's HOW DO YOU WIN FROM HERE? corey's book is called... HOW DO I **** THIS UP FROM HERE? lmfao

Corey knew it too -- fortunately for him, he had his buy back still, so he got a second chance.

Coreys shot selection in this situation makes two words come to me.... IDIOT SAVANT!!:sorry

coreys already forgot more than all you ball banging rail testing shortstops will ever know.

I have to disagree with that:sorry

Most of the time Cory can execute better than almost everyone, except when he shoots a really stupid shot for some stupid reason only he knows

Prolly true of course but if you ask him how he performed in this loss, I doubt he will cut himself any slack -- he would say he dogged it.

Yes, and he forgets it at the most inopportune time.
