My opponent breaks in 9 ball and leaves the CB frozen to middle of the head rail. The 1 is one ball to the left of center table just past the side pockets. I could of played safe or pushed but it was only a $5 game and I'd had a couple of beers. The 2 ball was sitting a little to the left of the CB on the same head rail. The right corner pocket was blocked and the only shot I had was the left corner 9 feet away, but I had to get the CB back to the head rail after the shot. If I rolled it the CB would hit the balls blocking the right had corner pocket so I decided to power the 1 ball into the left corner pocket throwing the CB to the right at least 18 inches before the top spin would take affect and go 2 rails out of the right hand corner into the left long rail and back for the 2 ball. Looked good on paper!
I jacked up about 45 degrees and slammed the 1 ball. It went dead center into the left hand corner, the CB went to the right after the collision the perfect amount and then the top spin took over. The CB was headed for the diamond in front of the right hand corner pocket and I'm thinking, OMG Efren has nothing on me!
About six inches before the CB hit the diamond it changed direction again, to the left, sending it into the right hand corner pocket. That was weird, after the top spin took over it THEN changed direction again! It was still a good shot that almost worked!
