I saw the video, cool shot, speed for the 1st bank of the qball with bottom right to spin the ball around the table is what it looks like to me.

Don't you have to shoot that with bottom left? I think you need running english on the second rail...
 
Left is what you need, but I don't think bottom is correct; from that angle it looks like bottom could cause a scratch cross-corner off the first rail. I think center-left is the way to go, and you'd have to stroke it real well because it's going to lose a lot of speed off that first rail, and it's going to need a lot of english to carry it around the table off the other three rails.

I would think that stroking as hard as that with inside english, the biggest risk in the shot is not coming up short, it's missing the 8 ball.

It's an around-the-angles shot, where instead of playing with low-right widening the angle of the first rail (and going three rails), he plays it with middle-left shortening it up of the first rail, then going three more rails for position (so four rails alltogether). The cueball really picks up that left english of the second rail and the angle widens quite a bit again. Does that make any sense?

Edit: Andrew was a bit faster.
 
I agree with hitting it softer and playing inside english. But only because I'm not good enough to do it the way Morris did.
 
There is a clip on this shot by Buddy Hall on YouTube

In one of the clips he shoots the shot the same way Rodney did.

In the clip below he shows a similar shot with two different paths for shape.

Actually there are multiple clips of Buddy Hall hitting different "position play" & somewhat stroke shots.

It takes a lot more stroke to play the shot above on a slow table.

guess thats why I did all those pushups in my army days, never could tell my left from my right and I am left handed, so thats my "right side" ;)
 
It would definitely help to have some new fast cloth. I don't think you'd be able to do that on my table. I'll have to give her a wirl tonight and see if its possible.
