I like Efren's choice here. It was fairly easy to execute and attempting other options were certainly far more risky. It looked to me like he might have had the angle to slide off the 4 ball (loose ball at the top of the stack) and lay on the rail side of the ball below the second diamond and a few inches off the side rail. Not easy to pull off.
I would like to continue the thread if I might by suggesting what Scott may look to do as a reply. Here is an image of my thought. If this couldn't be accomplished this way maybe it could via an intentional foul. Good touch is needed but that is what these players do on a regular basis.
