Well there is a system that will allow you hit it almost every time. Making it is lucky.
But actually there are lots of similar shots where knowing the system will put you in the right space to hit the ob and have a chance for something good to happen.

The most important part for me when it comes to that kick, watch the speed. Strickland would have had like a HANGER shot 1 foot away with a perfect little angle almost assuredly. But, efren knocked it in... more power to him I guess.
Its ironic that this shot has gone down in the annals. It is pure luck that he won that game. He pretty much sh#t out is the truth. For him, he dogged that safety right before that so bad, he missed his line with the ob by a half a diamond maybe. Even funnier, he tried to dog the hanger layout after that, but being the champ that he is he knocked them in.

Don't you think that it was the only speed he could make the hit with?
Imo, any stronger than that, and IMHO, 2 things can happen:
1) Whitey jumps off the table after contacting the 1st rail
2) Whitey may hit the 7(?) ball after contacting the 2nd rail
Correct me if my opinions are way off.
Hit it hard and hope.
:withstupid:Ah, the old triple H system. I subscribe to that.
Surely you jest...everyone knows he just got lucky! He'll be the first to tell ya!Efren was the Karambola King of the Philippines before he became great in pocket billiards.
He might know something about kicking and banking.
Watched the OP's video link and am I the only one that didn't understand it?
I made this shot in Vegas (7 footers) on my last ball B4 the 8 to bring my team to hill hill and on to win the match, first thing the guy says to me is Efren's shot!
Speed is the key to making it more predictable but man it's hard to judge that second rail.
