Sounds like y'all binged on loony pills before posting on this here dubya dubya dubya dee (or I guess wsbd)
.
Only mister lionheart, in all his bravery, had the simple reply to maintain a good position and keep the pressure on -
feathering the 7 and going two rails behind the two. Hit the shot with perfect speed (should be easy, your only going about 4-5 feet). Every one pocket player knows this shot, I guess one-pocket 101 is too simple for youse guys.
(halfway through this post I noticed LSJohn proposed the basic shot in the second reply. also, he already incorporated the word loony, so I guess I should just trash this post. but what the heck
)
I like this kind of shot when the 2 ball is closer to the rail. Although whenever I try it I don't get great results
- guess I need to give it more practice. Though in this case there's no guarantee that you won't leave an easy clear out shot, so I don't like it here.
Rod, are you shooting your shot with left spin one rail or are you spinning the rock two rails out of the corner using right? Just curious
.
In general I don't like any shots that send the cue ball a'travelling and require placing it in a precise spot on the opposite long rail - that two ball looks highly cut-able to me.
The simple shot maintains pressure and allows you to continue building your position. And it's simple.
