Safety options for this common shot?

With the ball frozen on the cushion, I think some of the suggestions won't work.

Ah, true. Didn't even catch the 9 was on the rail. That takes out the first option BBB showed that I liked so much due to double kiss.

i didnt catch the 9 frozen either
in the op's layout the cue ball and object ball are not parallel to the side rail
so like darrens kick solution my shot is similar since i start with an angle (if the 9 isnt frozen)

Switched over to the PLP being played in Florida. Big difference, starting with the gray cloth, not nearly so pleasing to the eye as the blue cloth used in the Predator event. The commentary was amateurish by comparison as well, and 9-Ball is boring after watching a good Ten Ball match. The players made many errors and misses on a Diamond table that was more forgiving than the Predator box. The audio was garbled and the camera work not nearly as good. Definitely a lower quality production than the one Predator is putting on.

I love what Mathroom has done for pool but they are falling behind Predator in this head to head competition imo.

I have no interest in the Predator event.

Bergman's return is far more interesting.

Diamond table domination

I was lucky enough to find a house with a family room that was 22x25 with no post. Pretty remarkable since it was the bottom floor. I used my table for a couple of years, and then it was idle since the pool hall was 10 minutes away with tournaments and players. I could have had a 6x12 snooker table in there as well.

My house I sold that will be torn down soon as I sold to a developer. Built in the 1920s has 24 rooms and I had to knock out a wall to put in a table.

Another problem I have known people ran into in Florida are HOAs. It you want to put it in your garage you can't park outside or get fined.

Hybrid Shafts.

So if I understand their marketing language, the fiberglass bonded shaft is strong enuf to allow for 10" of air under the ferrule.
I guess foam would either increase price, weight, deflection, and/or all 3.
I'm sure they researched this thoroughly B4 settling on air.
I respect the guys at Cuetec.
They make quality billiard products. But " Air Light front end" sure is a fancy way of saying hollow. Does sound better tho.😉

Yeah, in my experience, the foam that is used as filler does absolutely nothing besides preventing resonance, which actually deadens feel even more. My hybrids have empty space inside the tube.

Most GCIVs do.

But as well know - every single table can play different.

Nick Varner's GCV just seems to play so much better than my GCIV.

I just don't understand it.

as humid as you say your room was, you really needed 760. It makes a world of difference in humid basements.

My main poolroom was next to a creek and about 75% underground. Was humid as hell. It had brand new GC4’s in about 2000 (and GC1’s before). The owner would change the cloth every 6 months. Always 760. When the owner tried 860 one year, everyone hated it. Was slow as a valley bar table from 1990 with beer stains. He went back to 760 6 months later and all was well in the world.

Other rooms 10 min away, but not underground, and not near a creek, all had GC4’s with 860 and played fine. Only the humid room needed 760.
