PS, Those two old geezers from out west better not leave me no easy carom shots like that one...
Now I know for sure that you are stalling . Are you trying to get the Duck to think that you don't know what you are doing?One Pocket Ghost said:Good shot Steve.

It looks a little risky coming of the 8 ball for 2 reasons that I can see. First it looks like there may be a kiss with this choice, and secondly what about the possibility of leaving a billiard off the pink, pocketing the 5 ball? I would play safe off the 2 ball and reposition the cue ball between the 13 ball and I believe 7 ball. You will reposition the 13 ball on your side of the table and the next time you get back to the table you should have a more workable solution.Cowboy Dennis said:If anybody had ever shot this shot then you would know hard it is and the pitfalls of it. Do you know how tough it is to bank a single ball(8) into a certain other single ball(14) from this distance & still control the cueball? You must bank the 8 into a small target area on the 14 ball. Here are at least three things that usually go wrong when you shoot this shot from here. Not to mention what would happen if the 8 banked two rails and hit the 4 ball(pink ball I think?) Does anybody just play safe the first shot after the break?

Yeah, once in a while LOL I'd force & spin thru the 8 ball and try to totally control the CB. I didn't post before because I thought I had to make one and run 8 and out

By going off the 15, you could end up here...or worse.
