Maybe just kick the six in one rail with a little right spin. No need to open anything up here.
ghost and bill stroud went for the 2 rail kick
frank prefers the 1 rail
would any of you or anyone else say why they would prefer 1 or 2 rail kick to the six???
Here's what I would do. Efren wouldn't bank the two straight-backs that I would leave because that ball on my side rail goes from uptable and might even go from this position if someone was crazy enough to shoot it. The 2 would bank cross-corner and the ball on the rail can be carromed in, but I like my shot for money.

Larry...I'll give you three reasons why...
1. The 2ball is slightly in the way for it to be a natural one rail angle.
2. You have a better chance of getting 6ball out of there (short rail first, or long rail first) with the longer angle that the 2-rail kick gives you.
3. With the 2-rail kick, you can make a much better bridge - in shooting the 1rail kick you're almost shooting off the rail.

Yes it could be 'adjusted' to go..But I would think Raphael might be the only player on the planet, who would go for it !...
I'm going to try and get the 6 ball, (in or out)...one way or the other !

Nothing fancy for me given that all those balls are tied up, except the hanger. No way am I disturbing those tied up balls in this situation with this score. I like the double carom bank with follow in other situations but definitely not this one since it always would be opening up all the balls that Efren needs to get out (unless a ball just happens to drop in my own pocket, which does not look too likely in the diagram).game score 2-1 martinez ahead
