had you seen it and thought it through.

Dick, Ghost will never budge on his shot choice.
I do like the 1 ball bank inspite of it being the "wrong" shot in every way.

You know, there's already enough people being unfriendly towards each other on here, so I wasn't going to take the time to respond to the second above copied post of yours - your third erroneous post in a row towards me.....but it really should be denounced for what it is: the continuation of your long standing agenda of wanting to antagonize me, by lying about me, insulting me, and misquoting me...
And let me say that you being a teacher, I sure hope you don't teach/show your students the same 0 regard you have for truth, accuracy, and research before making incorrect statements, as you do here...that said...
You said:
"Dick, Ghost will never budge on his shot choice."...inferring that I said only one shot was the correct shot here...
Well, unlike some others in this shot choice thread who did definitively say that one shot was correct -
I never did - I only said I decided to shoot the 10...shooting in the 4 ball was an equally good choice - I don't believe there is a clear favorite here between those two choices....the only "not budging" that I did - was to not seriously consider your incorrect bank shot choice - a shot that only someone who doesn't understand the game of One Pocket very well at all, would elect to shoot - as SJD tried as politely as possible to point out to you...
And the very funny and very appropriate irony here, is that
it is you, who
"wouldn't budge" from your shot choice, by stubbornly saying
"I do like the 1 ball bank inspite of it being the "wrong" shot in every way" - even after SJD, a guy who knows One Pocket to the nth degree, told you that it was nfg...
...
And as for your lying, and thinking it's ok to say anything about somebody, in saying "
Ghost is never budging from his shot choice"....In fact, I've "budged" on here re. my shot choice several times...including twice in the same thread, just a few weeks ago - and one of these "budges' is the
ultimate irony >>>
because it was to your shot, as opposed to mine that I deferred ....and I also didn't mind giving a possible deferral to Tyler - even with him being a newbie here...here are the posts, #67 and #87 in the "Efren vs. Varner #2" thread >>>
Skin.....Unlike Papie, I don't mind admitting it if I slept something...and I slept noticing your shot, as being another way of getting to cueball over to the optimum position, on the opposite long rail 1-2 diamonds up from Efren's pocket...as long as there's room to go past the 3 ball without hitting it, after coming off of the 6 ball, then your shot is not a "plausable shot" as Papie so generously grants you - it is the best shot here - fer sure.

Tyler, you're not the only one - your shot is an excellent shot also, might even be the best shot
Your shot's minor downside is that you might leave him a window to go through where he'd be able to do something with the 1, 10, or 13 ball...
But the plus side to your shot, as opposed to leaving the cueball along Efren's long rail, is that from your cueballs location you won't be leaving the shooter a return-intentional scratch, with him lagging down to the head rail and coming back between the 4 and the rail.

And as for you snidely insulting me...you said, re. your bank shot: "had you seen it and thought it through."....yeah right...I've been playing One Pocket at a pretty high level for 40 years, and banks are a strong part of my game, but I'm not going to "see" the bank shot, a nice bright shiny 1ball, sitting there 8" diagonal from my cueball...
....and me being a very deliberate type of player and a teacher of One Pocket, playing in an important hill-hill game - you say I didn't "think things through" - please, give me a fukking break.
