It would look something like this if I pulled it off as I wanted, but even if I hit the 7 going in it still is okay. For now.
If I do catch the shot just right, or should I say, if Jeff caught it just right, it would be me who was in trouble.
If you can see the left hand side of the 7 then some low left off the left side and stick CB behind his 2 balls by his corner.

i'd thin off the 8 and leave him long

i like kicking the long table 1 rail playing to hit the 12 ball. speed is key i want to lay on the 12 or the bottom rail behind the 4 and the 12. if i miss the 12 and take a foul thats okay also as long as on that bottom rail. keith

I'm with miller. If you're speed is good you also double him up behind the 6 and he can't bring the cue ball back down to the same position. He's probably going to then, take a foul or try to double you up on the 1 and 8 ball.

I too thought of this shot, but if I don't get behind the seven then I feel like I'll be in a worse spot and the 8 ball will be removed and I'll be back to where I was....I like hitting the 5 ball two rails to my side and following the cue ball to the head rail and land behind the six or straight in on my opponentst7 ball.
I don't see anywhere up table that works, Bill. If Jeff did what you suggest I would have a number of options. One being I can drive into the ten and carom the other two balls near Jeff's pocket toward my own. I wouldn't worry too much about surrendering a bank with so few balls on Jeff's side of the table. If I don't like that, I might bank the eight ball, if I can keep the cue ball from selling out the ten. If I don't like that, I may be in a position to play a combo on the nine while lagging the rock behind the ten. I think I could go on and on with this but you get my point. Bottom line, leaving the cue ball up table offers too many options.
Jeff shot a fine shot and one that keeps pressure on me to play defense by hiding the balls near his hole. Take an inning way from me and hope I give him more to work with the next time he is at the table. that's my take on it anyway.
