Danny to shoot, he needs all 3. Tony on the 1 hole.
I agree 100%Don't know what Danny might do, but I'd have to kick away that stripe by Tony's hole. That wouldn't leave anything for Tony. His next project would be to get the other stripe sitting near the head rail pocket into bank position.

*I* wouldn't do this. But if I were Smith, I'd probably shave the 9-ball in, move the 10, and finish with a 3-railer on the 14.
I would bank the 9 with right english and go up to the top-right of the table.
It's very tough with the cue ball against the end rail. I would look at cross banking the 9 to my side, and swing the cue ball two rails to Tony's side uptable.

Billy immediately said Danny might shoot here and the cut allowed the 10 to be taken out as well. I'm with everyone else, I don't shoot the cut shot here, too much risk and I'm unlikely to make it.
Danny made it however, and it did exactly what Billy predicted. Danny in the booth said the call on what to shoot and what would happen was as good as the shot itself and I agree. Great call on this Billy.
Yum, cookies! I got the champion shot
I don't know... choosing the shot that Danny or Tony would shoot could be argued as qualifying for the dunce cap for any human players.
Yes, I'm sure that was Smith's thought process. BTW, check your PMs.Doc, this shot for an excellent ball striker plays well. The speed of the shot if hit well will send the cue ball into the side rail then either into the 10ball or missing the 10ball on the inside hitting the rail before the ball. If the shot is executed too thinly the cue ball will travel around the table to the top right quadrant of the table ending up in a safe position. This option fits nicely into Smiths arsenal, imo. Especially needing all three balls. Dr. Bill
Heh. I figured as much. I was in the stands almost yelling for him to shoot it ��������.

1. John -- I gave a human shot too, crossing the 9.

2. Mitch -- I was going to say that you and John have 9-8 but I hear you're too good at catching big fish. So LSJohn gets 9-8 and I'll take the same from you!
I guess I'll wear the dunce cap...
Word on the street is I need 9-7. But I'll accept 8-7
Word on the street is that you have callouses on your knees from spending so much time begging for weight.
Says the guy who asked me for weight...
