A simple shot would be to feather the 6 and put Efren on the top rail.
Providing nothings dead in the stack for Effie.
The aggressive shot would be to shoot the red ball into the stack off the orange.
Providing the rock can clear the 9 underneath and go up on the long rail on Efrens side.

Thin the 5 to go two rails behind the 9, or thin the 6 and go two rails into the stack.

When I played Jtompilot, he hit this shot on me beautifully (it was off the 1 by the side, but same difference). It was an excellent and effective shot.
I, however, would likely shoot Keyone's aggressive shot because I think I can get the cue past the 9 and into safety on the other side of the stack.

I would play this to open up more balls to my side. Might even make one.

Well, whaddayaknow...here's my 3-railer from the other day again...3 rail the 6 (the striped ball is not in the way) - stun-draw the cueball over to Efren's long rail, before the side pocket, and back over for shape on the striped ball along Billy's rail...gin...

PS, And it's a free shot - nothing in the stack goes in Efren's pocket...just don't miss the 3-railer way long and send it into the stack...:heh

I like it too if, as he says, the CB can slip past the 9. That's the part of the shot that made me choose otherwise.

Looks pretty kissy to me.
For me the problem with the 9 ball is you have to cut it thin to avoid the kiss. Consequently I, and I stress I, would have trouble controlling the rock. Possibly leaving it exposed or too high up allowing my opponent too many options.
With the red ball you can hit it square on. Almost full. Cause a lot of damage and have whitey behind the stack.

The 6 is to high to just thin it and not hide it, so the two rail into the stack is good.

Forgive me Keone. I didn't read your shot clearly the first time. This (Rods diagram) is the shot that I was advocating.

For that matter, Ghost, 2-rail the six with a loaded ball to head uptable, right? (Late edit: that could scratch in the side one rail). I like thinning the 6 and going two rails at the HUGE target that is the side of the stack - the 7 into the stack doesn't look like the speed will lay to make much of a splash. I could be wrong.

I'm with Beatle on this one. Bank the 9 with stun (might even go). The CB goes up behind the stack. There's no kiss. Now the opponent has a problem.
I'd also be inclined to take Frank's or Rod's shot, but sometimes something leaks out for the other guy.
