How Would You Get Out?

10 Ball on a 10' table. How would you get from the 5 to the 6?

Edit: I labeled the corner pockets for ease of calling where you'd shoot the 6.

5 in the side. Cue down the table and back up. Speed control is paramount. Six in the top corner.

2 rails next to 8 ball. 6 ball right corner

That would be my choice, no doubt. I would be looking for a tighter two rail angle that would avoid the 8 ball.

There are two pics in this thread. The right corner in the lower pic is different from the right corner in the top pic. The "top" corner is different in each pic. Please try to be specific if you expect anyone to know what you are saying. Thanks.

I edited the first pic and labeled the corner pockets for ease of identifying them.

Five in the side, light draw on the CB down to the headrail and back to center-ish table. Six into B, CB two rails slightly above the 7. 7 into B, CB one rail to almost where it is in the pic but a little higher. 8 in the side, 9 in the other side, 10 into A

You rack while I chalk my break stick.
 
Pretty much just center CB...One rail to shoot the 6 in pocket B......The only thing you need to do is "favor" the right side on contact with the CB just so you don't "unintentionally" put TOI on the ball and kill the running english it will pick up on contact, of the 5...

I like the one rail because I only have worry about speed....The two rail I have to worry about (how much) draw and/or spin I need to put on the ball to avoid ending up behind the 8.
 
6 in pocket b. The position, approach, and angle to the 7 is far more forgiving than if you went with pocket a
 
Chris nailed this one....... next.

Although if I were playing Chris I would soft draw behind the 9 for a safety just to F*** with him...

:grin:
 
Use 9 o'clock, squirt whitey to the cut angle in the side and make sure cue ball comes two rails hitting the second (long rail) near mid rail or greater to achieve your proper angle from the six to the seven This type of shot will not allow the ten to come into play when you shoot from the six to the seven/eight. Playing it this way, your shape zone is ENLARGED immensely, compared to just clipping the ball into the side and rolling up and down to the six. Also when using a rolling spinning inside English cue ball, when it hits the second rail, the angle will flatten out, which is exactly what you what moving into six ball shape.
 
I agree with Tate! go two rails… if you spin the ball its actually tough to get stuck behind the 8…. You will also be guaranteed an angle that gets you from the six to the seven.

Alex Pagulayan is the shooter and he did get stuck behind the 8:eek:.

He left it pretty tough for himself as you can see:

I would not argue those that go two rails here.....on paper and the higher the skill level...that is probably the way to go....but for those of use that only get out once or twice a week...going one rail has less chance of getting hooked behind the 8.....more likely one rail you end up short or long on the 6 and have to decide if you want to play for a shot or play safe...

If I chose the two rail shot I would probably end up perfect 99 times out of 100 but the 1 time would be when I was in a match with the outcome on the line.

This shot all comes down to how you personally vision the shot playing out....I set this up on a table and would say for me it plays out as a 1 rail shot.....yes speed of the shot becomes crucial......the two rail....draw and or spin become crucial to avoid the hook.

Isn't it always like that? The shot that offers the best opportunity to run out also presents the greatest opportunity to get hooked and the shot that offers the best opportunity to get on the next ball offers a tough shot at that next ball.

That's pool:D

I play for the 6 in the side near the 8 ball, 1 rail straight down

If I roll short I have corner pocket A, If I roll long I have corner pocket D, If I end up on the 50 yd line I can use pocket A or the side pocket and get on the 7 fairly easily, if I land perfect better yet.

I like to use the entire table and this leaves me many options to the 7. Its very difficult to hook yourself on the 7 ball here, its all about speed.

I like to use insurance pockets whenever I can. Sometimes moving the cue ball 12 ft instead of 12 inches makes a big difference in options and angles.

Playing for one pocket as Alex did is the perfect example why insurance pockets and position could be beneficial at times.

More than 1 way to skin a cat, this would be my choice.

Because it's a 10' table...

If I'm left-handed, I go straight up and down the table.

If I'm right-handed, I'm doubling the upper left corner pocket of the top photo (pocket d in picture 359998).

Freddie <~~~ and would miss the next shot
