What Would You Damn Do Here?

[elvicash]

You bring up a funny memory from a match I had with Scotty Townsend several years ago. I was faced with a tough shot on the money ball and I chose to play a weak safety because that's all I could come with at the time. After the match I asked Scotty if I did the right thing and he said, "Let me ask you this, who do you want shooting at the money ball, me or you?"

Scott broke that down now didn't he....

Shoot for your money JoeyA

I would complain about always being jacked up over the ****ing 8 ball for 2 minutes and then proceed to dog the safety that had no chance anyways. :thumbup:

That is what I should have done, in retrospect. :ImADumass:

I dont know the caliber of player you are playing but If he is a run out player there is no way I go for that shot! I play the safe between the seven every time!

This is one of those dam predicaments. I GOOD and easy safety doesn't seem to be something that I see. I might be forced to accept a weak safety and hope that I hook my opponent behind the nine ball which I didn't do in the layout. At least I will contain their banking because the side pocket is blocked by the 9 and the three ball. If I get lucky they will have to kick at the object ball.

If I am feeling the part of a fool that day and think that I have the eyes of a eagle, I will just try to thin the two ball in the left pocket. I might make it, I might miss it and leave a shot or not leave a shot.

i agree i would hit the 2 on the right side an put the CB behind the 3-9 an 2 on the other side Rail

i'd shoot, but....

probably bank the two back up to the head rail and send the cue ball 2 rails behind tthe 9/3......

pushout the 6 to the side cushion leaving a kick safe

cut the 2 ball two rails to the 2nd diamond on the right side of the table and send the cueball by the 8

if you're co,fortable with the speed of the table, i like the first option.

I'm thinking brush the 2 ball ever so thin and let whitey track back up table creating distance up by (or past) the 8 ball and there's a chance for blockers as well.

The key is the thin brush on the 2 to keep it somewhere mid-footrail.

I agree with Brian that is the first shot I saw when I looked at the layout.

Took 3 swings at the shot last nite:

While it looks like a helluva tuff shot, cutting it in the hole left the following 2:

BB;

Did you try to thin brush the right side of the 2 ball attempting to get whitey back up table by or past the 8 for the safe?

I did.
