for you guys who want to bank the 11 and hit the 9
based on the distance between the balls
what do you think is scotts success rate percentage wise would be ?
and what do you think your percentage would be ?
just askin ...
My shot was more of a safe with a ball close to my hole. If I make it it's a plus so I dont have odds on making it. My success rate on hitting the 9 ball is about 95 percent otherwise I dont shoot or adjust.. 3 yrs ago it was probably about 50/50, I have a much better idea where whitey is going now. IMO as the 9 is close to the rail it's pretty easy to hit it full.
My percentage is about the same for this shot and all others, 8%. Scott, 90%.
cory i agree with you that if the carom angle looked "right"there is a high percentage of hitting the 9At the table, I might change my mind. But if the line to the 9 is at all on, then there's about a 6" wide target zone (from rail first to hitting the 9 mostly but not completely full) so I feel pretty confident.
I agree! In choosing a shot I went with a defensive shot and where is the one place I would want to leave the cue ball. Jerry and I have it up against the 2 ball. This shot by coming off the 11, clears the 11 away so it can not be used by Alex to come back with a defensive shot, plus the 2 protects Scott's balls.this out comes seems very weak and allows alex to aggressively play safe imo

john 95% accuracy from 50/50 is quite an improvement...congratulations....
well when watching the video with the distance involved i was impressed with the hit especially to get it to scotts side
(i am easily impressed ...:heh)
here is the shot and the result
Skim the 11 on left side, cb goes to side rail and up tight against the 2. Whew, that was an easy shot, to start off a good year! Happy New Year!
Same here, maybe the stripe ends up in the straight back clog zone near his side pocket
