I'm 100% convinced we're being trolled at this point. Y'all have fun with this one.enough said...
If you could actually keep up to upper shortstops you wouldn't be: A) asking this question, B) playing draw over follow, C) be playing with a group that questions your decisions.
After watching way more hours of professional pool than I care to admit, I am pretty sure they would cut the 7 in the side and go two rails for position on the 8.
You can also draw off the end rail and spin out as someone suggested ,but it's a lower percentage shot for position. Always take the natural angles and your game will improve immediately.
I also don't like going between the balls for position, there is no real upside , but there are sure a lot of bad things that could happen.
Do whatever makes you happy .If the rent don't get paid , who cares.

I wouldn't bank it. A few ways of playing for the 8, as already mentioned. The biggest issue I see with getting on the 8 is possibly bumping the 9 or scratching in the side. Center of the table is no good for the 8, you have to get close to the long rail.
I think it's the guy that was here not long ago and disappeared. He had clothes on the table, cat or dog, etc.
If not him, it's his cousin.

Nah. You guys just got me going. I’ll stop. I’ve just been really overdoing it on my position play. I’m looking for ways to get even better shape. Maybe grasping for straws at this point. But right or wrong really did bank the 7 with great position on 8 and got out.
Looking at the OP, I would cue it with a 7:00 O'clock draw and bring it ''one out'' off the foot rail to the table middle, all day long. Would not bank or run it to the 3rd rail.
Sounds like you are more inclined to go for the show and not the dough.
That's fine for us funsies shooters but it isn't the right way to go if you play to eat.
Going 2/3 rails here does not seem too bad, the side pocket is in play and so is the 9 but there are a lot more good things that can happen to the shot than bad. Even if you hit the 9 you can still end up with a good shot on the 8, or going short side on the 8. I doubt I would try to bank it and draw straight back before playing shape off the rails.

From what I read, the only one getting angry here is you. Why did you ask the question if you didn't want opinions. Plus, if you are going to do WWYD threads, take some decent pictures.
Im with this guy.
Now, here's the deal with this shot.. it feels very unnatural. you want to put R) spin on the ball, dontcha?
Pool players in general are not actually familiar with the subtle effects of high/ low/ no spins after first ball contact.
Go play some 3c and glance off the first ball flat into a rail.
And cut the 7 in the side however you can and in a manner where cb goes to end rail and back to center table area.
I heard it is a good idea to not bump balls.
Funny stuff can happen. Coz it is a funny game.
I voted for the bank as i am unlikely to hit center pocket.
What surprises me is how many people are coming back up table to get on to that 8 Ball. It wouldn’t take much to get blocked by that 9…
Yep... but I'm not surprised anymore by this crowd...lol
Even if they could make it 10/10 they couldn't make it 100/100. And 15/20 is a pretty low percentage for pool unless there is a guaranteed reward. Good percentage play means taking as many shots and patterns that you are 90-99% on. As already stated, there is no value to the bank. Its lower percentage and drawing will always be less accurate than following the ball in this situation.
Yes but if you happen to when playing shape, you still have a chance to get good on the shot. Probably better chances than a bank with draw for position.
There is another option if making the shot with shape is in question, play a safe behind the 9 and 8 balls. Or play to a safe on the 8 behind the 9 after making the 7.
