How would you get position on the 9 ball?

Low left deep into the rail to roll softly into the 9 and moving it off the rail. Risky. Or hard draw to come off the left rail and back to the rail behind the 9. Or high right 3 rails under the 9.

You'd play to re-position the 9 ball? You have balls, sir!

it's just like softly breaking up a cluster. In this case, after making the 8 there would be no balls obstructing the 9 ball and you would have all 6 pockets available to play for. Speed is important in hitting the 9 as you want to keep the cue ball close to the 9 but not too close.

I think one would have a far greater success rate just stopping cb center table.

Thoig they do play3c in philly.

They do play 3c in Philly and I do play it myself from time to time. How would you get to center table though. Soft heavy high right? Taking it too deep into the bottom rail risks a scratch. No?
 
To the best of my ability this is how I believe the balls are lying in the video.

Good luck to all the drawmeisters. :smile:

That's pretty close. Your description earlier puts the 8 ball a "couple balls above" that first diamond, do you think you have it the same in your illustration? Either way, not a huge difference.

Huh? I see it as a natural to get to middle table. A littl center draw, so cb is just beginning to turn over as it hits the 8...add touch of left and stop in center. Not the easiest shot on the 9, but i also think it would be wrong to think yoi will have an easier shot after contactin the 9 lightly.

I still think i woild shoot the 9 into the same pocket as the 8.

I would bet i can consistantly stop the cb within4" of bottom r pictured diamond/ rail...and that shot is easier than cutting the 9 to bottom r corner from center table.

I would never choose to shoot that 8 with r spin.

Yes, I see that as so risky, as to be a bad idea......

Once again there are no other balls on the table to obstruct the 9 ball after making the 8 ball and you have all 6 pockets as a possibility for the 9. I would take that risk of having all pockets available for the 9 with no obstructions. Of course I listed 2 other ways I think you can play it.

It would scare the crap out of me if you played your shot on me and it worked. I'd wonder what I had gotten myself into! That's too tough, trust me, I have way more posts than you.
 
Straight draw over and back is the easiest way to play it, no need to hit the short rail. Or just come out of the corner, or hit it like a Filipino with inside. I think most pros would just draw over and back, highest percentage of not screwing it up.

How high up on the opposite side rail do you think you could draw it?
