Somebody said they wanted to see more of these WWYD shots so here's one that I've seen hosed up many, many times. I've seen it hosed up many, many times in person, by pros, by hacks, in major national tournaments, at local pool halls, and by me myself.
I think the problem is the shot is scary. People are afraid they are going to come across and scratch in the side pocket so they hit it with a timid stroke. But, having said that, I've seen pros, hacks, myself, etc, scratch in the opposite side pocket as they attempt to come back across the side rail and out towards the red CB for position on the 2Ball.
Anybody have any insights on how to play this shot? Johnny Archer could have used some help with this shot in a Sands Reno match against Efren years ago.
