Neil said:I do agree that it is an easier hit going four rails.But, I also feel that you have to hit it much harder, and aren't likely to make it anywhere. Which means you just made a good hit to sell out.
That is why I chose the one rail kick. It's a much harder hit, but I have a good chance to make the ball if I hit it. Which means game over for me. I believe in always giving myself a chance to win, and in this case, on a barbox, I still think you have to go for the make.
Keep in mind I did this on a 9footer with rails that have a little spring to them. Im gonna go shoot this a bunch of times. First time I shot it I almost made it in the side and the cue ball went behind the 1.
To me this shot is just like going 3 rails behind the object ball. Right before the side and then 2 rails out of the corner.
