whats your make or get it close without leaving a return bank %If I need one I'm kicking.
In this situation I hope I can just roll up against the eight and leave Shannon no shot. I'll wait for a better opportunity to go for my hole.:sorry
Good Idea about the rail first but I would leave the eight in that area and just take the cue ball across table and even with the eight ball.
Going farther up the table will leave him a three railer on one ball or a two railer on the other.
Seems to me this is an absolutely horrible position to be in, and thinking of anything even remotely offensive. I don't believe I have ever played anyone who would shoot the shots recommended so far here. Doesn't anyone here ever scratch flying the CB around the table.

It looks like neither object ball is frozen to the rail.
I would hit the rail softly, just before the 8 ball, bumping the 8 ball into the left rail but not hard enough for it to bump into and make the 3 ball while floating the cue ball toward the middle of the table. (Hoping to live to fight another day and maybe restrict the chances of having the 8 ball banked 3 rails at a later time, into my opponent's pocket.)

Wouldn't you know, I made this shot today in a game.
In this particular game, Shannon's opponent rolled up on the 8 slowly, off the long rail first, leaving a slight angle on the 8.
Shannon wasted no time at all 3 railing the 8 into his hole. Good example of how a passive shot can give up the initiative quickly against a very strong player. Shannon was down 5 balls in this game and was now 7-7 and shooting.
how many times out of ten do you think you leave the 3 railer???
just askin for my education...
