Push to You---whats the shot
- Thread starter Perk
- Start date
Thinning the 1 to the left with just enough speed to get the 1 over by the other 2 balls.(not trying to hit them though,wouldnt want to sh!t one in and have to shoot again).Putting whitey back down table into the cluster of balls.

Send the cue ball behind the 2-3 and the 1 two rails down table.
I'm banking the 1 to the upper left corner (where the CB is).
I like banking the one towards the nine, making sure whitey lands under the two/three, just make sure the one gets past the side. The percentages of getting behind the two/three are real good mainly because you using a high center ball rolling whitey behind two blockers. If your opponent misses the kick on the one, you may have a simple one/nine combo. If the one gets past the two/three on dbarbrs route you could be in trouble if the cue ball gets loose. If this is a SLOW table I like dbarbr's way, with a fast table I like my way. dbarbr's way.... just hate putting the one next to the two and three, my way, kinda hate rolling the one towards the nine, the score may have influence on the shot selection also. If I was pocketing balls well, I'd probably fire it in, depending on the score.

The thinning the 1 safety looks great, but I wouldn't hide the 1 behind those other balls. If you do that and the 1 caroms off the 3 into the hole, now you are jumping to make the 2 and you have to sink it to stay alive.
I would thin the 1, but leave it on the same side of the 3 and near the rail.
Also, this leaves you better if you get ball in hand. Nothing worse than a BIH you can't run from.

The 1 ball is a very reasonable shot, I would cut it in and win the game. You could play safe and you have no guarantee the next time you come to the table you will have even this good a shot. Any good player would be happy with this shot.
I dont have a a clue what to do here.....
That is a pile of bull. No pro in a match that matters is playing either the bank or the backcut into the corner. They are playing safe all day long, and that is a funny thing because they shoot the cut and the bank better then anyone on this thread and STILL know neither are the percentage shot.
The bank is a 2 way you make it you have shape you miss it and you don't leave a shot.... No wonder so many of you think luck is such a big part of 9ball... It's percentages not luck... A safety might get you ball in hand but it won't get you on the score board.... making the shot playing the 2 way has you off and running out..... With your opponent still sitting in his chair....

Russ... You're not fooling anybody!
I was thinking exactly what dabarbr was and then saw his post.
Personally, rather than try to cut the one in the near left corner and move the three, I would bank it to the far right corner. This leaves you position to cut the two, hit off the rail and cut the three.
Cut the three, which banks the cue ball back to sink the four in the far right corner, with top left. This leaves a nice cut shot on the five with the chance to sink the nine in the far left corner after the cue ball connects and sinks the five.
That would be my game plan. Heh.

Best shot on the ball?
You can play safe behind the three and two , but the shot is from there "cut the one in the hole"..two rails out , shot on the two ball!!!!!!!.....and run out!
