Danny is down 3-2 in games, going to 5 and it's his shot, playing Hall of Famer Allen Hopkins. What would you do from here?

I might bank the 6 ball to my hole and draw the rock up towards the side pocket (between the middle diamond and the pocket) and leave it on the rail.

I am going to shoot at the one ball, and follow almost straight through, to a point on the side rail, just below the 8 ball, making sure he can't hit the 14 ball...should work well.

(still struggling with the stupid arrow thingy)

this seems too obvious so maybe the stripe blocks the angle for the bank
but if you can see it this is my shot.(i gave 2 choices for q ball ending spot)

All I see is play safe and try to protect stripe above my pocket.

I like stevelomako's shot if the table will allow it. Some tables will not let you twist this shot in because of the induced spin the q will put on the object ball.steve's shot.JPG

lll,

That's a good way to leave Hopkins a mickey-mouse, cross-corner bank. Take care of whitey and whitey will take care of you, don't take care of whitey and there's nothing you can do.

Especially if I'd wasted time with the Greenshot stuff....This is like trying to keep up with a 100 person "chat stream"...By the time I type a 5 word response, the subject is
off the page...:(

(I shoot a lot faster than I type)...:eek:

I'm going along with Steve and Frank...it's a good offensive opportunity - make the bank and you probably win the game - and as long as you control the cueball, it's a free roll.
