Hey all,
So I think there's actually like a 1% chance that I invented a new shot, which to me is kind of funny. I can't imagine there's a whole lot of shots being invented in straight pool in the last 50 years, but I did this the other day and no one I've shown it to has ever seen it.
(Three slides to the diagram)
I knew the 8 would move just slightly after making the combination, but to a very predictable place. The cueball was laying really nicely to come off the end rail in a very consistent line, so it just sort of clicked that playing a time shot manufacture would be in order.
It worked quite well. In fact, it was pretty easy to execute. Anyway, it was kind of an interesting position so thought I'd share.
