Ya think that is prefered to an uptable? I think there is little difference between the 2 shots, if executed properly...but I guess putting OB by the your side ,instead of uptable on your side is 'better'.
The only other shot I would play here is short rail with right-hand english
...hit thick so whitey is going down HIS side of the table and the object-
ball is banking towards your pocket.....
...sometimes the actual ball placings or how the table plays invites this
response.
The other options often leave a shot to send the ball towards his hole.
A winning one-pocket player is the guy who keeps giving his opponent
'questions' instead of 'answers'.
my opinion, of course....but I've had a couple people stop playing
one-hole with me.
