8 ball wwyd with bih

This "easy" out has little problems that have to be overcame.
I dont like moving balls that dont have to be moved. If moving balls
improves one chances, carefully move balls.
I shot the 7 with a little angle so I could move the 11 and have shape on the 3.
Moved the 11 so I wouldnt have to bridge over it.I found myself a little over straight
in on the 3. Shot the 3 with soft draw.Moved the 14 Down so it blocked bottom right corner for the 8. Shot the 6 with top. 1 rail back out to straight in the 8.

Moved one ball intenionally, moved one unintenionally.
1 helped, 1 caused trouble.

I am going to shoot the seven ball first. Attempting to leave the cue ball just below the spot(critical to stay below the line of the three to the corner). Then I can shoot the three and stop or just drift slightly, staying below the line of the six to the corner. Then I can just roll the six in and the cue ball rolls away from the eight right on the line of the eight to the corner. No need to move any balls.:cool:

Cold blooded killers will be our team name.:wink:

Eight ball is interesting in that there are multiple solutions and routes available for every situation. Having a partner that goes different routes or sequences can put even good players off their game.:confused:

Yep, with ball in hand, I like to shoot the biggest problem.

But 'Cold Blooded Killers' might be too intimidating....
...how about 'Rack'em...if you don't mind' ?

If all balls have a pocket, there is no need to move anything.
- Play the 7 first simply because it would be easier than trying to shoot the 3 over the 7. Stop the CB for a straight in shot on the 3.
- Once the 7 is down, the 3 is easy because you don't have to play over any balls. Slight draw to get just shy of being straight in on the 6.
- Play the 6 and push the CB toward the left rail.
- 8 in the lower right corner.

What he said for sure.

I don't like playing the 7 long it seems like you have to put to much effort into that shot no need to play it long you can miss those shots a lot more
 
I think I would start with the 7, setting it up so that I could roll the cueball softly into the 11. This should clear the 11, so that I don't have to jack up over it to play the 3, while also getting me on the 'right' side of the 3. Simple position off the 3 to get to the 6, and the same from the 6 to the 8.

I just set up my table with the exact same layout and made sure that each of the balls only played into one pocket per the OP.
Then I recorded myself running the balls out pretty much as I stated in my previous post. http://youtu.be/VVvxddUR4Ig

Only change I'd make is your initial angle on the 7. Change it so you end up straight on the 3. Shoot the 3 with a touch of draw, maybe 3 inches or so. That way when you need to shoot the 6, you don't need to worry about going to the rail for position on the 8.

As long as it results in a run out, there is no wrong way. As you can see, my way resulted in a run out. I'm looking forward to seeing your video.

Wow, hostility for no reason. As I said, all I would do is change the angle slightly on the 7 so I can ensure myself not having to play the rail. That's my personal preference, it doesn't mean I'm lowering what you did at all.

Ok we will kill them with kindness.;)

I think of Chip and Dale, the chipmunks.:rolleyes:

When I play scotch doubles, I never say, "I'm sorry". It is either, "I made mine!" or "Take that!":D

Solomon nice video. Take criticism with open mind.
Table layout isnt exactly the same as I had to bridge over the
3 to shoot the 11.

Thanks for posting video. Wish I had recorded my runout.

Have no issue with Hits 'em Hard's comment. I seriously look forward to seeing his and/or anyone else's video.
 
Clear 7&6 first 3 is a difficult shot for a righty reaching over balls. Easy out. Should be a 9/10 success scenario
