How would you get position on the 9 ball?

No I sold it months ago...why do you think I'm on here posting so much...nothing else to do.
You posted Thursday this last week of your pool room in a condo.
There was no mention that it WAS ur pool room.
And if you're on here instead of playing, for months, you're game is no longer sharp enough to talk chit.
Meh...been watching a lot of streaming...just going to be refreshed. Anyway, to stay sharp (after a few beers) I'll sometimes head over to the local billiards cafe that is full of recreational and league players...walk up to a table and challenge whoever to a game of 8 ball...if I win nothing...if they win I pay their tab.

That's spot on.

Impressive, I guess.
Where can an AZBer get a game to be beaten?
3 Cushion is ALL about controlling the CB! This is where players like Efren and Buddy Hall excelled with pin point 'center table' angle position!
NO scratch involved if a player has control of their stroke!
Looks like a natural hanger to me!
Well if he was totally in control of his stroke he wouldn't be there in the first place
Be it as it may ,, I really think it's a personal preference, Strickland might come with a big stroke low , Alex may choose to go in and out of the corner ,while Corey may go for the OPs shot , for me 1 and 3 offer me the best chance and the least chance of scratching or over shooting the shape on the 9

I said I challenge them to a game...didn't say I always win.
I asked where?
I'm sure you don't win em all, as no one does.
But, when I see this....
Ah...I'm not a douche bag. I tell people afterwards...look...I play a LOT of pool. You aren't going to beat me...its as simple as that. If I try to grapple with a black belt I'm going to take an ass whooping every time...I'm like a black belt in pool.
Then I have to lol.
But, hey, I hope your close to me. Love to play you, especially if you are as black beltish as you say.
My best learning has come when I racked a lot.
His nickname is Pinocchio!
Post a video of you making this "hanger" a few times in a row. Its an unnecessary risk. If you had control of the cue ball, why couldn't you shoot it a "safer" way with complete control?
Well I didn't read every single reply.
As one other poster already stated, it's a 'personal preference' how to get out from here! Being primarily a 3C player, I like the solution I chose! The angle looks 'natural' to get in front of the side pocket! Obviously the problem is the location of the 9 ball. I prefer NOT trying to shoot down the rail past the side pocket.
You are drawing the cueball to the corner pocket...and then coming on a tangent towards the side pocket.
These are basically the 4 options being discussed. You can see why I chose the route I did.

The reason I said personal preference is some players might like to try to roll out of the corner up closer to the 9 cause they don't like that rail shot from a distance where other players have no problem with that shot from a father distance or a little more angle but see more danger in going into the corner back out toward the side , truth be told depending how I'm stroking the cue that day I might play any of them

it should be a foul to shoot the ball with low inside english like the OP did. I saw Shane and Efren each do it once - didn't seem fair

Coos Cues
Your drawings are severely flawed. As I pointed out already the 8 ball is just above the first diamond and with the angle on it there is no way you are going to draw the cue ball above the first diamond on the long rail. Physics just don't work that way. Not possible. The shot shown in the video hit the short rail half way to the pocket from the first diamond which is about as far as draw is going to get you up table on the first rail. Therefore to draw over and back a lot of left English will be needed to avoid a longer than ideal shot on the 9. Just not as easy as many posters seem to think.

Well the lines should be curved not straight as that is the path the cue ball takes. I could easily draw back to the 3rd diamond with any english...but that wouldn't get the desired position. Anyway...I touch type 70 wpm and I couldn't draw the keyboard on a piece of paper if you asked me...its all muscle memory. It's the same with pool.
Here is a video which shows how quickly I am down on the shot.
