Okay, just so we're all on the same page, I got out from here in a non-money match. By that, I mean there was nothing to lose. I'm sorry for not putting it in gif format but it appears I lack the software on my office pc.

The picture is attached. You can try to go to Start > Run and type mspaint if you're on a MS Windows box.

I would probably try to cut the 8 with inside to kill the cueball off the second rail.

If the 8 is cuttable, I'd definitely do that - go 4 rails for the 9 and hope for no scratch...what'd you end up doing?

Oh yeah.

I guess in a non-money situation I may try and bank the 8 past the 9. A little on the short side in case I miss and try to leave the 8 behind the 9. Low percentage probably, but in a non pressure situation I'd give it a shot.

I guess it depends on how fast the table/rails are playing. Having to hit the 8 as thin as you would with inside to be able to make it in the near side and try to get on the 9 you would have to strike it with some speed so that may let the cb go as well. I guess I would have to set that up and try it out.
 
actually it looks like you might have enough room to make the 8 in the top corner with draw and outside if you stroke it good

The leave would not be very good if you did that.
 
I would ..........

FOR NO $ - I would try to bank the 8 two rails in the opposite corner from the nine. At the same time, I would draw the cueball under the nine to shoot in the same pocket. THIS IS A ONE POCKET SHOT ALSO.

I actually saw Tony Robles knock off this shot about 10 times in a row (I was disgusted). My percentages aren't nearly as good but it laid perfectly so I decided to give it a try.

I cut the 8-ball in the corner with about as much follow as I could muster. The cue-ball hit the back of the side-pocket, rebounded back onto the table and followed down to the footrail around the 9-ball for a manageable cut in the corner. Ridiculous shot but it was a lot of fun.

Jude, you have got to be kidding me. This should be in a trick shot thread :)

Great shot and I liked OHB's shot as well, although I don't think I would have near the success rate.
 
spin the 8 in the side pocket with above center inside english and have the cue come back to the 3rd diamond side pocket area
 
lol I'll have to set that up and try it later. what would you do in a serious situation?

I like ohb's shot...hadn't thought of it...you have a decent chance of not selling out if you miss...I don't move good enough to pull that one off though :)

It's actually easier than you'd think. What everyone knows but refuses to recognize is that when you use a lot of top spin, the cue-ball tends to hop. You see this when the cue-ball and object ball are near a rail. Players have a tendency to completely jump off the table when attempting to follow out. Well, this is merely a positive application of a known occurance.

What's funny is, because of the top spin, you can actually pocket the cue-ball and have it climb out of the pocket and back on the table. It literally disappears for a split second. Funniest thing I've ever seen on a table!
