Center ball hit, lay up on the left side of the photo. You have the corner if you underhit, the side or pictured corner if you overhit. Lots of built-in insurance

I like A unless it's unavailable - then B's OK.

Thanks for the diagram. Exactly what I was trying to depict.
I prefer option B...but I am a masher

Agreed...but was pondering the 'pro' way to down it.
Ifeel that with a bit of confidence in my approach, I could easily go from 60% to 62% from there.
For me it depends on the angle and this appears very close to a grey area for me. A little less angle and its roll it and maybe hit the long rail. A bit more angle and I would choose to stun it two rails out of the corner.

Personally I like option B. With the object ball in the center of the table just below the spot once the cueball reaches mid table you have a makeable shot on the nine. With the angle the cue ball is coming into the rail if it’s over hit it will stay in the position area a little longer allowing for a bigger margin of error.
A fair point. I like the speed/angle control and simplicity of A.

Problem with A is there is a scratch in the side if its hit bad.
Thats why 2 out of the corner is the better shot. The inside follow I mentioned also avoids the scratch is the table plays funky enough you dont the the low outside.
Low left....I always play for the third rail on this shot.
...it’s like you’re trying to scratch two rails into the side....
...but the left english always gets you past the side.
Been playing it this way all my life....have encountered zero reasons to change this approach.

Another fair point. Must mean this is an interesting question.
It's certainly more fun - I'm trying to learn to like the "boring" ones.
These are the ones I practice most, mostly because I like them least.

On the OP’s first picture, it almost looks like if you play 2 rails short out of the first corner you will scratch in that first corner. PJs picture I don’t get that impression.
The reason I bring this up is I have scratched that way a time or two, and surprised myself in doing so

High center ball. More natural and on my
table the scratch wasnt really in play.
I ended up mid table with a slight cut.
2 rail postion had to be hit pretty hard
for me anyway, maybe I set it up wrong
or just play like doo doo.
Probably the latter.
