Do you posters play this shot, going from the 5B to the 6B, with about a tip of left English at 9:00 or do you hit it low, about 6:00?

How Do You Play This Shot?

I think just low. Don't give the side pocket a chance to come into play.
To simply go from the 5B to the 6B.
Ah, then close eyes and hit as hard as you can.
I like the low-left, 2 rail position, but careful of the side! Table size can change this choice for me.

I would play it low with maybe a 1/4 tip of left.
Table size does change my choices here, but I like low, or 9:00 left, and I even like high inside here, depending on where the 7,8,9 (10) are..... check it one rail maybe tap it off the rail gently.
A man after my own heart.
Also blame bystanders over at the counter getting a sandwich ,for being in with your opponent and sharking you.
Damp/Dry
hit it lowER than center or a little left? Depends on conditions. If it's humid I play my shots and patterns one way, if it's dry conditions my pattern play AND CUING....change dramatically, as does vise versa.
So always keep and eye on the weather in dry climates that can become instantly humid from unforeseen thundershowers.

Assuming the path is clear this is by far the correct answer. You are coming into your shape zone on the shot line, not across it and the shape zone is huge once you are approaching the third rail. You can hit it too hard if you really try but it's hard to hit it too soft and snooker yourself. Really don't need all that firm of a stroke either. And there is no scratch anywhere to be found. Not even close. Drawing into the left corner and out is a sucker's bet.

I play the 6 in the corner and then the 5 in the same corner then try to figure out where the 8 ball is.
What PT and Cornerman wrote.
You obviously don't hit it hard enough to get to the 3rd rail -unless you're a fish.
