Right. But your shot had enough angle.
Well at the time it felt more comfortable to go around the way I did...either way those are the 2 best shots.

ya I was renting it for a few months...but even with a heater and dehumidifier pulling a tank full of water out of the air every 24 hours... it was still a losing battle. So, I moved it to my condo...it was tight.

You expect anything from this poster is truthful?
Of course it could be an old video, and maybe not even him.

Don't think I hadn't already thought of that.
One day he shows his table set-up, next night he says he needs to set it up?!
Yep
I think your right Tony it's not him. LOL My guess is he's a 12 to 14 year old kid.

This is the way I would shoot that shot. Best to keep whitey on it's natural path for position on the 9 ball.

Only one way ta shoot this ''correctly''....6 o'clock draw one rail (long rail) and back. If ya hit it real good whitey will be on the other long rail about one diamond up from the side, straight in on the 9.
But in that set up, I'd have drawn the ball across tabke and back as well. The shot you showed plays a little to close to the corner pocket for my liking. Besides that, anytime you're playing off center of the cue ball, you risk over or under cuting the shot trying to do two things at once.
That's the ONLY way to play it under heat.
Center draw works under some conditions....low with a bit of left sometimes.
Playing 2 rails for position runs the risk of overrunning the position on the 9 ball,.the 3 rail shot as shown runs the risk of scratching, or coming off the first rail straight along the end rail leaving mor distance than wanted, and the rule of K.I.S.S. should always apply first, that nust means keep it simple stupid. Drawing the cue ball across the table to the side rail is guaranteed to keep it up table crom the 9, it can be shot even harder without having to be worried about where spin is going to take the cue ball, and even if you draw it across table and back to the same side.as the cue ball, you can't run the risk of overshooting position on the 9. As car as skill goes, straight draw is much easier to control than inside draw with the intent of going 3 rails to get position on the 9.

LMAO that was so unexpected I had to watch it a second time to understand exactly what happened.
Tell the truth, is that how you would really do it?:wink:

Pretty elementary shot , straight draw over and back and grab the rack
