First of all, let me ask you out of curiosity...why are you disputing me about this shot when it was Steve Booth & Freddy who first recommended it? - why aren'e you disputing it with them?...
...
But anyway....Artie.....I will give you several replys to your post/challenge, including a counter-proposal to your challenge - here is my first reply, re. androd's shot that you love so much,
and that you are wrong about it being an "excellent shot" here...
androd's shot is not "excellent", because it's just about impossible to execute, as displayed...
With as far apart as the 7 & 8balls are, and as close to the rail as the 8ball is (1/2 ball off the rail), it's very doubtful, if not impossible, to be able to ticky under the 8ball and get the cueball to end up frozen 1/2 diamond up on the long rail...would you like to bet on executing that shot for starters - I sure would...

PS, Whoever shot that shot would probably end up leaving his opponent a cross-corner bank on either the 7, 9, or 12ball.
I replyed what I seen I didnt pick you out.
I didnt even read all the things that were said in the post before I seen what you said.
I dont pick on individuels. I erplied to the shot. And thats what I reply on. And I gave my opinion on the shot.
And if you want to play from that positionI will play you. WE will play three games each. on your two scratch shots and my two shots.
And on Anrod sho we can play from that position too. And you can pick one off your shots against Androd shot..
I dont no what you are looking at but your not going to get a bank on the 7 9 or 12. Unless its a totale lell out.
I will just play you from that position. But the balls have too be set up cprrectly. THat will be the whole problem. And the eight ball looks to me like it is way off the rail compared too were the 7 ball is.
The only thing different that could happen is the cue ball will be closer too the botom rail. But that will all depend on who the eight ball gets spoted.
Buy the way the white arrows are it looks like the eight ball is at least a ball off the rail. And that is what it would be all about.
And I By not replying two the two shots I picked. I take it you like youre two better. But you got action on those two shots that I said and the two shots you picket.
We dont need to go no further on Arod shot because i no alreadt that you are not going to but the eight ball. The way I see it. And that is the reason why I would shoot that shot. And your not going to get a free bank. Only a give up.
But I no you are going to but the eight ball were thieir is no chance off getting behind the eight ball. You might even freeze the eight ball and then you can say that shot can be done.
Nothing can be done if you set up shot thats inposable. But the two shots I picket are ok against the two shots you picket. Because anrod shot I no will never agree to were the eight ball should be. No sense going through all off that.
And I dont want you feeling like I am picking on you ? Because I am not picking on you. Only the shot. And the way I see the balls Anrod shot is exelent. But if the eight ball lays were you cant go behind it. Then I would not shoot the shot.
BUt he must see the eight ball the same way. I see it. Or else why would he say what he said if he cant get behind the eight ball. But he sees a lot off rome behind the eight ball thats why he picket that shot.
Thats the problem. With these diagrams they are miss leading they way people see the balls. Let me no if you want action on those two shots off yours and my two shots.
And if you want too bet on Anrod shot the eight ball has to be at least one ball off the rail. Or we dont need too go no further on his shot.
