8 Ball Analyze: Rack #1
- Thread starter mohrt
- Start date
Just for fun, lets hone our 8 ball thinking skills. The 7 ball dropped on the break. What to do?
what table-size is that? 6ft? 7ft?
I might start by banking the 5 while it's there.

It's an over-size 7.

It's a runnable table for solids but definitely not easy. For me, the key is whether or not the 4-ball is blocking the corner pocket for the 6 and 2. If not, we're off to the races.
I'd look to pocket the 6 and draw back for near-straight position on the 3. From there, I'm getting position on the 2 in the lower right corner with an angle that will allow me to float into the 15. With the 15 stopping my cue-ball, I should have a playable angle on the 5. After that, it's duck-duck-duck and I'm out.
I would start with the six, draw back for the 3, shoot the 2 past the four in the upper right.
Then I would see how I lied after the 2 and hopefully attempt a bank or safe on the 5 ball depending on how it lied.
The other two solids and 8 are open and you can easily move the 5 and play a decent safe with out opening up your opponents stripes.
Onto the next!

I like the idea of banking the 5. You could play a stop on the 6, bank the 5 and run into the 11 for position on the 3.

Bank the 5...should be able to park whitey on the 13...3 in the corner..
..2 in the corner table-length...hold for 6 in the side....
three more hangers and collect the money.
That's my plan...I've had a few that didn't work out.
10 does not quite pass the 4.
If you play the 10 between the 4 and the rail is it dropping?? Its awfully close to the pocket. If it's easily makeable I'm sticking with stripes, I'd rather not shoot a bank if I don't have to.
Otherwise as others said I'd start with the bank on the 5.
duplicate post....

That's what I would do too. Easiest way to open up the table early and set up the run.
