In the spirit of the WWYD (getting on the 2) thread, (and not wanting to highjack it) I thought I'd give generating an ongoing discussion of various shots a try.
I was just watching the latest 'Earl commentated' Billiards Network video. An EuroTour match between Filler and Kazakis. In the first few racks Filler makes some odd choices imo. This particular one jumps out to me because it illustrates how opting to play lazy shape on a would be easy combo can bite you in the ass. (aka the fore mentioned thread)
Here's the screen shot:
Personally, I would use running english, play two rails and go short side on the 7 and play it into the corner Filler is shooting from.
Here's what Filler does.

After watching this I went down to the table with the screen shot. Set it up, and got on the 7 short side in all my three attempts. Each of the 3 attempts had the 3 ball off the top rail by small varying amounts.
What would you do...?
