I've made this (or similar) a couple times. I oddly like strange cut shots like this. I don't always make them, but I like trying. 
The last game in this video is one of those games that just kept getting uglier every time i shot.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbdiFVHrcKY
I swear I think I heard one of them throw up. It was a rollercoaster for sure, they saw me looking at the dead ball early in the rack so they knew all I needed was to get a shot on the 8 and I was out. When I got hooked they thought they had it.
Definately one of those times you wish you had a video recorder.
What a shot, what did you have on it? bottom left?
i pulled this one off a few months back. i got real bad on the 7 so i cross banked it with inside english and spun back behind the 8

those of you that've played with me know i don't have a real powerful stroke so i was pretty proud of this one. 7 years of play and that's the best i've done

that one has already been posted. did you save it wrong? click the html button
click and drag the other balls off the table and double click to show the direction of the balls you do want to use. hit the html button to save it when you're finished. then just past the link on the page. that's how i did it. not 100% right but it works
I agree -- what a shot! What kind of spin did you put on that one, 3kushn?

I'm banking that in the bottom right corner pocket all day, every day (and I'm making it 60% of the time). I wouldn't even consider the cut. You're a more daring man than I.
Dotted ball - First shot of a tournament with no real place to push to and not much chance in the tourney, I went for it and played it perfectly with position.
A - The shot looks like a huge fluke but I lined it up and hit it perfectly playing ring 10 ball when there was no chance to get out on the rack.

Was in a friendly cheap game... and I was offered odds to try the cut. Cleaned my friend out of about $15 in that game!
Depends on the game being played -- just because he's showing the 9-ball, doesn't mean the game is 9-ball.
If that's One Pocket, with this being the game winning ball (my opponent and I each have 7 balls), and my pocket is the upper left as shown, I'm cutting that ball in all day. I *might* consider the two-railer bank ("Z"-bank) the entire length of the table and back towards that same pocket, but getting down low on the shot (snooker fundamentals), I also feel comfortable with this type of cut shot. Plus, unlike the two-railer bank, the cut-shot, if it doesn't pocket, is most likely to leave the ball either inside the jaws of your pocket, or very close.
Just a different perspective on that shot

B - Best Shot I've Ever Made. This was actually a shot on a 1 ball and there was no pocket for it. It was the very first shot in a gambling match and I went for it thinking if I jump this 1 ball over this ball and get shape, this guy will never even get out the gate. I hit it just like I wanted and even spun off the rail for perfect shape. When I looked over expecting to see a deer-in-the-headlights expression, he was talking to someone and didn't even see the shot.
Is it just me, or is the right side of this table layout harder to read than one of CocoboloCowboy's posts?
Too many lines coming out of nowhere, and a few balls are just going into the pocket without any explanation. Maybe you can redraw this on a fresh layout?

Totally understand. I was just commenting on a percentage shot from my perspective. I'm much more apt to make the bank once back than I am to even coming close to cutting that all the way down the head rail. It's a hell of a cut, and I may have to satisfy curiosity and try it a few times next time I practice

Head-end rail? <scratches head> I know that someone had posted that there were issues with CueTable where links would take you to pool.bz or some such, and due to laziness, I'd not yet implemented the "fix." I show that as the foot rail, not the head rail. With it being "early release" Friday where I work, there's noone here that I can verify with -- is my CueTable displaying backwards from everyone else? (Innocent question -- honest. Just don't want to appear as a dork talking about One Pocket when it's the wrong end of the table!)
8 Ball shot to win a match. I broke and ran to the 8 then hooked myself. Got a good hit and buried the 8. The guy I was playing hooked me twice in that same spot. The second time I went balls out and called the kick (with right) bank and drilled it!
