9 Ball - What would you do here? (1) - After The Break

At first I thought the 2-9 has more potential as a combo bank shot. It doesn't look all that promising as a direct combo. Meanwhile, there really isn't not a good push-out spot anywhere on the table: you'd either sell out a shot or hook yourself. Even though NvdB took a small gamble, I believe he was planing on playing safety if it got passed back.

The only way to find out is to ask him directly. Can anyone here get a quick answer from NvdB?


It looked to me as if Thomas didn't look at the 2-9 combo as a thread at all. He also chose the let NvdB to play the safety shot. As seen in video, NvdB was aiming to leave the 2 downtown towards the short rail and the CB at the opposite short rail. A good plan turned out to look like a 3 way shot at the end. Despite his luck on the 9 ball, he did park the CB good at the right spot..

This caught my eyes as I was gathering a whole bunch of youtube videos... (so far we have found about 800+ various billiard related youtube/google videos http://library.cuetable.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56)

Thank you all for sharing ideas. I will try to pick something a little more secretive and post another layout later (so the answer doesn't get out in the second post) :P
 
Alright, after a long talk with Jude and Chris Lynch last night, I am convinced that push-out shot by NvdB was too risky...

Just thought of this as an alternative push out shot, what do you all think?

And this is another interesting push-out shot by Ron Shepard on RSB (http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.billiard/browse_thread/thread/1cc617fa2ed078a7?hl=en#)
