Do the top one pocket players almost never shoot that spin transfer shot when there are two balls frozen on the spot?

Wait a minute, isn't that head ball force through actually used MORE times than not, by the top pros? (depending on the score and other ball positions of course) haven’t seen the shot in a long time when I watch more recent (the last several years) pro one pocket matches on the web. It’s possible I missed the ones where they do attempt it.

It’s possible I’ve simply missed the matches where they do play the shot. Feels like I haven’t seen it attempted by the top players in a long time.

That one's touchy unless you got comfortable air and a familiar brand of playing surface. The layout might merit that choice though. The double bank and the double kiss are usually what you see.
