9 Ball Situation (9) - What would you do here?

cleary said:
offensive: Hit the 4 a little firm with low left and try to carom the 6.
defensive: Hit about 3/4 of the left side of the 4 ball with left spin at a fairly slow speed and try to split them on the rail between the 9.

9 Ball Situation (9) - What would you do here? - Popular Shot Choices -

Dear friends:

Thanks for your great input. There are a lot of creative solutions here by people from all over internet (RSB, AZ, MySpace, Facebook...)

Defensive
1, thin the 4 go 3 rails and stick the cb close to or behind the 5. -TXsouthpaw, Krisz, Michael Richardson, AZE, GravyTrain
2, leave 4 ball on buttom long rail and but qb behind 9ball -stick8, Studeman, cleary, Johnnyt
3, leave the 4 on the top rail and the cue on the bottom rail with the 9 ball in between. - soulcatcher, AZE, JefferyP
4, hit the 4 full in the face with a little right draw. The cb will double kiss back down by the 5 and the 4 should move over behind the 9 if done perfectly. -Neil, Studeman


Offensive
5, bank the 4 with a little inside. 2 rails for shape on the 5 and the runout -TXsouthpaw, stick8, soulcatcher, Black-Balled, JakartaDean, Jeffery P
6. stiff the 4 into the 9 and try to make the 6 with a hug-the-rail-with-follow shot -- the nine has at least four likely pockets -Bob
7, Hit the 4 a little firm with low left and try to carom the 6. -Cleary, Michael Richardson, Johnnyt
In addition, send the cue ball rail-first into the 6. Not only do I think my chances at pocketing the 6 increase since I won't have to worry about a double-kiss, I'll have the cueball off the rail for my next shot. -Jude Rosenstock

Check 1:30 into the video to see what Alex Pagulayan did. Please note this is not the absolute answer to the layout. The purpose of the thread is to encourage people think their own logical solutions and share with others :)
