I have been playing a little three cushion lately and I would shoot a ticky on the green ball closest to the hole, hitting the short rail first, rail, ball, back to short rail, into the long rail and cue ball buried into the pocket in the stack with the green ball banking out to the middle of the table.
Sounds complicated but it is a simple shot with a great outcome. It lays perfect for this shot.
I believe this shot is a classic example of knowledge and experience...
I never saw the shot, nor would I know how much of the 6 ball to try and catch coming off the foot rail, or exactly where to go into the foot rail...
While it’s a simple shot to some, it would be an adventure for me because I’m just not very familiar with the action of the CB and it’s path coming off the 6... To thick, and it rolls above the stack, to thin, it rolls below the stack... Knowing where and how much is paramount with this shot, and experience with shooting it hundreds of times before plays big...
Unquestionably a very good shot selection...
