Sorry, your playing one pocket not straight pool. Playing one pocket when ever you have balls on your side of the table you need to protect them from being moved by your opponent, your shot allows your opponent to comfortably move the 7 ball from your side of the table, negating one of the strengths of your position.Bill I see a similar shot that would be much less risky and wouldn't require a bridge.
What do you think: Thin the 14, come off the side rail and park it on the foot rail by JJs pocket ?
i think efren could do this

it would disrupt the possible dead combo to jj's pocket also

In my post that preceded your post I mentioned that on my shot the cue ball would end up near the center diamond UTILIZING THE STACK AS A BLOCKER.
The stack would then block any or all shots for my opponent from removing balls from my side of the table, possibly resulting in a more difficult position to defend against.

Bill, Obviously the 'Clamp' is not an "A" player ( maybe even not a "C") however, he offered his opinion, (which was horrible) so rather than demean him, just point out the error of his shot selection...(wheres Artie when you need him)..:frus
PS..Even Ghoat's and RBL, would recognize that move, as the worst possible option..(maybe)..:/QUOTE]
Sorry, I didn't realize that my post was so demeaning, I tried to explain the difference in playing one pocket as opposed to straight pool. I guess The Ghost's rebuttal on how I referred to him as being must have some what influenced you on my communication problems.
Maybe The Cowboy can correct me? What do you think Dennis, did I demean the gentleman? If so I apologize in front, if not then now you know the difference in one pocket strategy as opposed to straight pool.

Bill,
I don't feel you demeaned him at all. The only thing I see is that capital letters usually indicate (on the internet) that you are yelling. I'm sure you didn't know that and were just highlighting in caps, I've done the same thing without trying to yell at someone.

although i think i would play my shot in post 16
i still dont know why noone has commented on the good/bad of this shot
it moves a ball to efrens side and leaves him(jj) buried in the stack
whats wrong with that??
unless you think it cant be done
Bill S. liked it. I like it too, I think that's what I'd shoot.

He could possibly shoot off the 5 ball and drop behind the 8 ball, using the 8 ball as a blocker. If he's able to do that the next time he's back at the table he may have a better position to deal with.
There I go again I could be possibly right.

im talking about this shot

First of all, Larry's shot clearly shows the cueball traveling into the 2 ball (note the red arrowhead), not straight ahead into the 5 ball.

Second of all, there are no black balls in the pic, as I showed in post #34:

Because of these two things post #34 applies, just as it did when I wrote it.
Dennis
you could shoot straight ahead with a smidgeon of low right
even going straight ahead
my concept was to move the stripe to my side and bury him in the stack
