What shot do you jump out of your chair to shoot when playing ol' one hole? Several come to mind for me. Here's one of them:

Real nice shot!!!
Great thread!!!
I also like this shot, to move the cueball to the other side of the rack and place a ball near my pocket.
This shot is also great. I can't make both at the same time, but pretty often one of them will go.

I haven't got the chance of trying this yet, but it looks pretty cool.
You have the bottom left corner, and you're hooked between the pink 4.
Make the 3 in the side and stop the cueball. Then the 3-ball will be respotted frozen to the cueball for your opponent, check page 1 & 2

Here is one of my all time favorite one pocket shots...it comes up quite often and it is an easy shot to execute and can be a game winner. Either you are gonna make the 9 ball and start a run or you are going to move balls your way and leave very little.
This is a handy little shot I learned from Buddy Hall.
Cue Ball - (Top reverse into the pocket-point at medium speed)

Eric,
In addition to the PM I sent you, here is another link with more tips on how to use the table....

Hi Roy,
I think this shot is not good. There is a good change that you leave a bank with the 10-ball and if it's to short to bank your opponend can easily defend by playing bahind the 6.
I think in this particulair situation the 10-ball is already developped and you have a easy develop bank shot with the 5-ball placing the Q-ball behind the 4-ball stopping on the 11-ball. Heck if you dare you can bank the 5 onto the 13-6 and draw the q-ball back in the 4-ball making the 4-7-9 combi....
Or were you just making an example...
Here is another useful shot that alot of people overlook. Bank the thirteen ball across the corner with enough speed so that the cueball will hug the rail and make the 10 ball. Takes some confidence to shoot the shot, i suggest practicing it a few times before shooting it in games...once you have the shot down, you will use it often.
This is a good play even when you don't have the carom option - just banging the stack is often better than trying the bank, because it keeps the cue ball from going uptable and selling out. For instance, change the position of a few balls...bomber said:

Ball Placement
This is not a shot, but a diagram about ball placement...I have found that the location of the one ball and the two ball in the diagram can wreak havoc for your opponent in early game situations. It is, in my opinion, one of the best places to have balls located. It causes a lot of trouble for your opponent. However, the only drawback, is that it can cut off some bank lanes. Position them carefully and you will see the power of these balls...like I said though, mainly early in the game.

If your opponent takes intentionall scratch, here is a fine option to return his shot and keep your position. This shot is a great shot...don't treat balls near your pocket like they are the holy grail...shoot them occasionally!
