Sorry Tony, but I think you will find, that if you were to go for the 10 (which you should) you would be ill advised to shoot it hard...If you missed it, many bad things could happen...double kiss, double the pocket, and spit out toward the other guys hole, etc...In that case, you would be giving your oppo, a good chance, to get two balls, instead of one, play shape on a 3 railer, and be right back in the game...If your not comfortable shooting at 'pocket speeds' (especially banks)..I would suggest strongly, working on that part of your game.
Note;..Edit for Dr. Bill, Billy, you are sounding like a true 9 baller now...Is "pocket speed" one of your "glaring" weaknesses ?.. JK JK.....If I were to shoot that shot (even off the rail) I would make, or jaw it, 80 %, or more, and would almost never leave a return bank, after my oppo makes the 4..(min. 5 yrs ago)...
....Oh, I get it, you just wanted to gig the Beard...OK, carry on)..
Thanks for your opinion and coaching me on pocket speed and your assumption that i need coaching (uncalled for) ... I will not take a chance on leaving a bank for my opponent.
If you want to shoot this with pocket speed and leave your cue in the middle of the table , well, you are entitled to your opinion. Many will not want to take that chance and put an additional ball in play.
///Again here we go ... a thread starts "what would you do" and it is taken as an opportunity by many as to get on their soapbox.
Just give your opinion and leave it at that.
Some want to shoot at their hole and some do not ... please deliver your soliloquy without the chastisement of others.
