I don't think that will be a recommended shot here.
The 1 has a high risk of ending up (off) the end rail and would sell out a bank...(and a run out)
I don't play 1-pocket, but I would think that a seasoned 1-pocket would start drooling if you shot that type of shot here...

As silly as this may sound, but depending on my opponents ability...I would kick at the one before I would try a "flyer" like double kissing it. You can control the speed of the cue ball and the one ball alot better by kicking at it rather than double kissing it. And if you hang it up and he makes it and then follows the cue ball in, all 4 balls go in your pocket. JMO.

Shorten the 2 with inside at pocket speed, stunning the cue forward snug with the 3.

If I need only one? I'm playing it safe from here rather than risk selling out a bank.
I myself would play the 1 ball safe 2 raisl up near the head rail......
I too, would bump the 1 back up the table a little and leave the cueball inline with the 2and whatever the ball is next to it. Those two have the two rail blocked for the next shooter. Like someone said we all are just waitting for the guy that plays the double kiss.---Smitty
The shot here is to bank the one ball to near the side pocket on your side leaving the cue ball frozen to the foot rail. You will probably get a decent shot on your next turn. Keep the cue ball on the rail so your opponent can only roll the cue . However; if you don't like money then shoot the kiss. Patience will win this game for you. I don't like the bank on the 2 because if you don't pocket it there is a good chance you will leave a bank. There is no need here to give your man any shot from here.fan-tum said:
You're suppose to play the score here no matter who your opponent is. If you were to sell out any shot, all the balls go in your opponents pocket. Just knock the one up table and stop the cue ball right there. It's really a no brainer; that's the only option as far as i'm concerned.

I like playing safe, but I think moving the one is preferred to leaving it there, as a couple of other posters have suggested. What they didn't suggest (and it probably does not matter, just my preference) is moving the cue ball to the 1st diamond on the long rail by my opponent's pocket. I think that way it would be hard for my opponent to try to move a ball to his side w/o giving up a shot. It looks like a tough spot either way for my opponent, but I do like keeping my opponent buried near his pocket with all the balls downtown near my side.
